thanks and sorry this might look stupid to u but our measurments are different than urs
all i know is that my rear wheel drive ratio is 3.07:1
if i will be fine then why tci showed this table to us?? could u explain plz i think the table says that i shouldnt go larger than breakaway.. i dont want to buy rear gears i dont have enough money .. but i still want the best power i can get without killing my gears

Well i'm not really shure why some of the stuff they put in those tables is even on there?? And yes you will be fine with the 3.07 gears. That is kinda between what some of us f-body guys have....2.73 and 3.23(stock) and plenty of guys run 3500+ stalls with those gears. And yeah what kind of rearend (axle) do they put on those?? Is it a solid rear or indepedent rear like the GTO's have??

I haven't looked at that table but it's probably showing you what is typically done with old style engines, non-OD trannys, and non-lockup converters. You wouldn't want to run a 4000 stall in a heavy car with 3.07 gears and no lockup for example. You'de be slipping constantly, get terrible gas mileage, and you would create alot of tranny heat that would need to be delt with. However, with a lockup converter it's a different story.

The Colonel knows some stuff! The table is indeed for a older non-lockup style transmission. It doesn't apply to lockup style transmissions and converters.
