If I did, I would get the 0-4500 rpm kit. I know for sure that at
least a nice set of heads and matching cam can do a lot.
Im curious though what the revs would be like on the highway with 3.73
gears? I have a 69 coupe with 3.5 gears and they are awsome on the
street and tolerable on the highway though I dont take it on road
trips. And they always make a wining noise. I also put in a cobra trac-
loc. But Im focusing on my 89 now and its a summer daily driver and
want to be able to take it on road trips so Im worried about putting
gears in it.
Thanks,
