How did you decipher it’s 4.44 from those numbers?

The 4.44 ratio behind an 8BA engine would be OK for 1/4 mile drag racing, a 3.78 would be better for every day driving..
My 36 coupe has 3.78 with a Columbia, 59 AB engine that has been modified to a high level. Car runs very well, street or hiway.
