3.08 Gears. What to Swap to?
If any of you guys want I built rear gear / rpm calculator on Microsoft excel. Send me a private message with your email and I’ll send it to you. It’s set up to compare different rear gears combos with either the TH350 or 700r4. You could add different trans if you had the inclination- newguy11
