since v8's don't use 1st, and second is not interchangeable.

what is the latest thinking on the best gears for 3,4,5 ??

stock is ok - but @ 3000-3500 rpms at @ 65 mph - really sucks the gas : ((

I have a gear set that I'm about to toss up for sale which is the sought after top gear

Is it H or Z (or is that HZ?)? or are they both worth about the same?

what kind fo ratio will that give for top gear? or what rpm will the motor be at with stock tires at freeway speed (say 70 mph or so?)

I am looking for a better gearing for my Buick powered 914

thanks
