Alright folks, it's time to move from the kiddie pool to the deep end (lol). All my life I've had automatic cars except for a Jeep CJ 4-speed in the mid-80s. I now have a '68 Dart GT that was originally a 3-speed which was converted to a Tremec 5-speed. The car retains its original 3rd pedal and Tremec trans tunnel alterations but is otherwise a blank canvas - no engine or trans in the car currently. Rather than change the pedals, reinstall a stock trans tunnel (even for a A833), etc., I'm dipping my toe into the big boy world of a Tremec - probably a TKX-5 with a hyd throwout bearing. I'll do this as a 'one stop shopping' kit.
More on the car: Full QA1 front end w/retained torsion bars, fiberglass front end (hood, fenders, bumper), frames tied w/Hotchkiss connectors welded in, Moser 8 3/4 w/their limited slip center section, 4.11 gears & Moser axles. Caltracs. Car is mini-tubbed and riding on 295/50x15 M/T tires. No rollbar or cage, yet. Engine is a 10.5:1 Indy aluminum block 528 Hemi. The cam is a small SFT (275/277 @ 020; 244/247 @ 050; 557/548; 108 LSA)
Car will be used for weekend ice cream runs and 'spirited' street driving, maybe a trip to the local track from time to time.
The question is, which ratio is 'best' for this car:
TKX Gear Ratios
Wide Ratio - 3.27, 1.98, 1.34, 1.00, 0.72
Close Ratio - 2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.00, 0.81 or 0.68
Open to any and all responses. Thanks.
