Difference between 3:55 and 3:23 gears

I tried 2:76 gears and HATED them. The car revved too low on the highway and lugged up the hills. I now have three center sections with 2:76 gears sitting in my shop.

Hmm...Sorry to hear that.
After the Spring Fling,I use to get a kick out of getting on the freeway, and flying by geared up big block/hemi cars in my 2.76 geared slant car.
