I don't care that much about the speed,I just like to keep the RPM's down.I did buy two sets of 3.27's a few years ago when the rumor went around that they were going to get scarce.I've never used them,but 99% of my A driving is on 45 MPH roads so I won't be going that route.Years ago I ran an old Harley with the biggest sprocket I could find on the front,and the smallest I could find on the rear.60 MPH was just a high idle.It had plenty of torque to handle it,but in traffic my foot had to constantly slip the clutch.
