    Gearing Question

     



    Ok, so I need to get into the pumpkin, have way too much pinion slack. So while I am there I am going to get rid of the open 2.73's that are there. But I am not sure what to go back with.

    car is a 37 Chevy, 10 bolt 8.5" rear, 425 HP 406, 400TH tranny w/TCI Saturday Night Special torque converter. I know I am going back with a posi, but don't know if I want 3.42 or 3.73. Wish to keep it trip drivable without big RPMs at highway speed but want something more than 2.73's.

    Any thoughts??
