Re: Ring & pinion question
Thanks Brent,
Which cam & combo would not make me regret the 3.54. Is the Stipe cam a new one ? Does Snyder's or Bratton's carry the Stipe parts ?

Re: Overdrive / ring gear question
So I quess the conclusion is: The 3:54 for the lighter cars. Best combo would be 5.5 head + 3:78 RG with Ryan overdrive ? For best performance on the NE hills.
Would the new 6.1 head too much ?

Re: Overdrive / ring gear question
I just found out that my Ryan Overdrive is a 23%. (new in box). It seems that I will go with the 3:78 RG based on the great feed back. I never had any experience with the 3:54 in a light or heavier...
