          on our teams enduro mustang we run the 214 2.73 deal and only turn about 6500 rpm at the most but its a tighter 1/2 pavement and there 200lap races

          so i guess it depends on the track and how many rpm you want to turn

            A rough estimate in general. For every .1 change, up or down, in the final ratio to the pavement, the engine rpm will respectively decrease or increase 125-150 rpm. -Dave-

              Better to use the 273 second gear combo or the 410 3rd gear I have access to both ratios
