gearing vs mpg

wheres that cam cleaning up for you guys? the 509/292 i was running didn't clean up until just after 2200rpm or so. i was running 3.91 gears. dropped it to 3.55 and it was just ok around town but better on the highway. was gonna do the 2.94's but did the math and it would have sucked around town. cool as hell on the highway but totally undriveable at lower speeds.

hey joe, i dont understand what you mean exactly by the cam cleaning up? i havent installed my motor yet, but that is the cam thats in it and i will be using it...i think the powerband starts at 2100 or 2300 rpm...I have 3.91's with a 28 inch tall tire, and the final drive ratio in my tranny is a .68
