First time at the strip!

True dodge freak but I drive this car on the street and on long highway trips a lot too; last month I took a 7-hour road trip to Telluride, CO through the mountains and it was SO much fun. The acceleration with 4.10's would be crazy but I feel like with the torquey low-RPM nature of the engine it would wind out too fast and not do much better at the strip than some 3.55's

I would imagine "back in the day" it was easy to get taller gearsets because they were offered by the factory, so it wasn't necessary for the aftermarket to offer them. Also most performance cams back then had a lot of overlap so you'd need the gear to help it wind up. I bet my car would scream with a set of 4.10's and that MP 284/.484" cam I have lying around.
