3.73 will turn you higher at the trap?

According to the calculator about 5650 when I plug in the 1.45 trans gear @ 84 mph

I thought you did not want to go any higher than 5500

I don’t, but I plan to go to a 30 inch tire when these wear out so that will put me right there.

Oh, 10-4 I did not know that.
What size is on there now? Can you take a measurement across the tire you have now? Sometime not immediately.

I counted the teeth when I put it in & came up with 3.08 but everyone says no 3.08 came in the 8 3/4. Im going to pull it ASAP & count again.

i think 4.10's would work out well , 3.91 are okay , that short stroke 400 and big bore piston like rpm . don't need much head to get it to breath . i would think its some were in the 5500 range for its peek with stock heads , if it was high c/r then 6500 . better heads and then 7500 plus . my 63 fury ran a 383 with giant c/r n heads with a single 850 on it to 8000 rpm , stock rods n crank just polished to mirror finish everywhere , and a giant cam , solid tappet type , 4.89's 30'' slicks 2'' primaries 3 1/2 collectors 12'' long open headers . ran 10.73 in ihra , all metal car , alum inner fenders wells , replaced the steel ones . this 440 +.06 maxwedge street package , pump gas c/r was running 11.82 flat at 6200 through the traps . just like i drove it , same rubber on the rears n 2 1/2'' through the muffers . here is a shot of the last timed at the track , that was before the fresh air version of air cleaners , as you can see they got pushed up into the air which was an issue if i wanted to run the scoop .

The ratio will be stamped into the crown wheel.

Yes it’s on all my non Sure Grip pigs but didn’t see it on this one.

That's strange since the crown wheel unbolts and is interchangeable between sure grips and non sure grips.

I have finally got FURYIOUS in the shop & have started my winter updates. A little late I know. I pulled the engine & trans. Plans are to install a deep/baffled oil pan & windage tray. I already cleaned up the header studs. I had 1 that was leaking & couldn't tighten it. I have two good used sets of headers. I got one set down from storage loft today & it’s a large tube header. Not sure I want to run that. I think my other set is a standard size 1 7/8 tube. Also I plan some weight reduction. Hoping for 100 pounds. And a new fuel cell & aluminum fuel line. I bought an aluminum h20 pump housing. Some new valve cover & a dress coat of Mopar orange paint. And I’m going to try to make a set of elephant ears &mount the engine that way. I’ll do a mock up with a block & spare tranny I have. Then moving rearward. Good chance of a lexan windshiel. Aluminum interior panels. Improve the drive shaft loop. And all new aluminum trunk floor & battery tray. Followed with a fiberglass rear bumper. Also I am going to fab up a quick disconnect trans line using AN fittings & a lite braided hose rated for heat & psi. And a quick disconcert starter hook up. All of this will make future engine removable & service much easier. Also I want to try that 3.73 gear I got & see how the car likes that. Yea a lot to do so I’ll be busy. Plan is to have her back on the track in early April. Also while the engine was out I checked the vin # on the engine & it matches the dash vin that means FURYIOUS has her original engine. I plan some trans upgrades too. A SFI flex plate. Deep trans pan. New seals & band adjustments.
