I've wondered about this but just now remembered to ask it
Let's say your 3500 lb car has a 360 that runs pretty strong and you have a well built 727.
Axle gearing of 2.76 VS 4.10.
Wide open throttle acceleration, time after time.....which gear would lead to an earlier failure of the transmission?
Just my bonehead logic here but I think that the tall 2.76 gear would place more stress on the transmission because there is less leverage to move the car.
Opinions?
