2.94:1 gears

I agree with abodyjoe the 2.94s are the perfect gear set for all around driving, great gear for 65 to 80 mph, they just keep pulling. Today's traffic is speeding at 70 plus mph going down the highway and the 3.23s just wind the engine too much at those speeds. Have a factory set of 2.94s in a 69 B Body, 230 hp stock 318 plus added performance of an Edelbrock 1406, 727 auto. Good low end starting out from traffic lights, good mid range. Over all 10 out of 10 for me. One thing that unknowingly boosts my performance is the Factory 9.2:1 Compression 318 engine great low end torque, the added 4 bbl, and four Torq Thust II Aluminum 15 inch wheels. They are 20 lbs lighter each than the steel Mopar Ralley wheels and Beauty Ring combinations that came off. Thats a difference of 80 lbs of dead weigh that you have to spin up and brake down every time you start and stop, makes a huge difference in performance with the aluminum wheels.

I like the 2.94s so much that I just came across a second set ready to go that I will be swapping out into my 1967 Dart 2 Door Post car, ready for completion this Summer. I like the way they drive over the whole range, from starting out to passing cars on the freeway.

Just what I was looking for on gears. We're looking at taking a 4000 mile road trip this fall and I'd like a little better mileage and lower rpm then my 3.23 (or 3.21) will give me. Your engine combo is very close to mine mild 318, 904 auto, 9.2:1 compression, AVS 2 650 with RPM airgap. It will take a while to recoup my cost but I think the 2.94s are way to go. I knew if I kept searching old posts I'd come across something. :)
