So its been a while since Ive posted on here, but I wanted some input on gear ratio. I am in the process of building a 9" for my car. Im getting the 3rd member built and I have been kicking around gear ratio ideas. I know, I know....I should know this being where I work...but I thought what better way then to ask you guys who have tried different ratios.
SO...the car is supercharged, so I know that changes things a bit. Im kicking around 3 different ratios and have been unable to determine which one to choose. Its between a 3.70, 3.89, and 4.11. The wheels are 20" but Im not sure of which tire size is getting mounted on them. Based on a common 20" tire size...what would YOU guys do if it were your car. It will mostly be street driving with some occasional road trips. I know everyone runs the 3.73's in the 8.8.....but being that there is a 3.89 available...would you guys run that gear? I think the 4.11 is probably going to be a little too tall. SO.....Im knowledgable on the subject....just trying to get your opinions on what you would do if it were YOUR car. Thanks in advance!
