The last moderately cammed LS, T56 car I had was a 3:73 and if IIRC it cruised nicely at 65mph at about 1600rpm.
I'm trying to pick a gear for the 9 inch in my El Camino and wondering what guys run and why. The 3:73 was good, but I reckon I could go lower, say 3:9, 4:11 or maybe even slightly higher in the 4's.
This one will have a more aggressive cam and my priorities are 1. Performance 2. Driveability 3. Mileage, but also don't want to go overkill and spend all my time shifting!
