Close or Wide Ratio Trans?

[Bulletpruf]

Fellas -

Looks like I'm going to start off with a T-10 4 speed in my '71 Javelin Trans Am clone. It will see some time on the street, and some time doing autocross, maybe some top speed stuff, but no drag racing. Given that, I should go with a wide ratio trans, right?

Also - the car will be fairly light - manual steering, brakes, stripped interior. 401 has 500 hp now; likely to improve.



Thanks,

Scott
