5.1 gears, anyone?

I had a 396 with 4.88's. It would red line in high gear as fast as you could shift it.. Never again.

Same here back in 1974 I built a 67 Camaro with a 396 tunnel ram and two 600 Holleys with 4.88's and 4 speed. Sucked for a cruiser but oh was it a hand full ripping through the gears!
