On the truck bed we are going to cut out where the rearend would hit

duster638@yahoo.com · « **Reply #15 on:** January 26, 2012, 08:23:13 AM »

Just pick up some 455 gears for my rearend traded a Hood scoop for them

Greybeards Customs · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2012, 12:40:08 PM »

I hope you are planning on a quadruple overdrive if you are planning on driving with 4.55 gears .

duster638@yahoo.com · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2012, 02:22:37 PM »

Why everyone down here keeps telling me those gears are perfect for the street I would like your info on them

Greybeards Customs · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:19:15 PM »

Let me turn you on to a cool website to calculate your mph vs. rpm vs. ring and pinion ratios . according to the calculator with a 4.55 to 1 ratio and 27" tall tire you will be turning 3400 rpm's at 60 mph in high gear . in comparison with a 3.08 to 1 ratio you would be traveling 88 mph . Check out this site and plug in your info http://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-rods-rat-rods/Speed-Potential-Calculator-for-Ring-Gear-and-Pinion-Changes.asp
