Ford 8.8 swap?

I remember hearing somewhere that turbo motors work best by torquing against taller gears (like 3.27s) for longer periods as opposed to revving fast and dropping RPMs (and boost) in quick succession like you would with lower gears like 3.73 or 4.10.Maybe a turbo expert could correct or confirm this but I'd look for on with the 3.27 ratio,especially with a long stroke slant 6.

I was going to mention that. ^

Bill Dedman and others have found that a turbo /6 works best with taller gears, even in the 2.xx range. It will build boost better in lower RPM's.

If money is tight, look for another 8.8 with a diffrent ratio so you don't have to do it twice.
