A detroit locker or true track (torsen gleason) are the best.
Really? I'm not trying to argue.....Lord knows you got the experience here, but would you expound on this? My stupid brain tells me a locker would try to push through turns. What would make it better for road racing? I know all the dirt boys down here use open diffs. That might not be a good comparison, though. Learn me sumffin. lol
Depends on the the track, rear tire dia, and motor (whats your powerband look like).
Close ratio trans is optimal. Tremec's are not optimal. But still good dual purpose trans and still better than automatic.

A-body and B-body big block cars are like apples and oranges, almost nothing a likeLast Mopar action they had alittle side article about a Roadrunner with a 383 running this time trial challenge. So its possible
you going with as much aluminum as possible?the difference in wait isnt really that much and thats what i got for right now if some deal for a small block falls outa the sky then i might buy it
Regular TKO i agree. My liberty gears synchroed TKO shifts better than any car i have ever felt. Just my 2 cents. Maybe its comparing Apples to Green apples.

gota 489 8 3/4, mid 70's 4 speed, wondering what gear to choose for road racing and auto crossing
You will nee to go buy a few more 489's, and still need some motor info.. a 2.90 may never ever fit any use other than bonneville, you may need a 3.90 as your shortest, you may need several centers, 3.90, 4.30, 4.56. . .and more
