RIGHT NOW I HAVE 410 GEARS..
SMALL BLOCK 465/205 38.5 SX

SHOULD I GO TO 4.88 OR JUST GO TO LIKE WHATEVERS CLOSEST TO 5.29 FOR MY 60.

ITS MY DAILY DRIVER AND IF I DO THE GEARS I WANT IT TO REALLY BE NOTICABLE AND STILL BE ABLE TO CRUZ ON THE FREEWAY...

I CAN CRUZ LIKE 80-85 BUT ITS A LITTLE SCARY.
65-70 IS COOL FOR ME

Pitch the t/c and go to an Atlas or other 4+ range low t/c and keep the R&P's you have now. Sorry I don't know if you can get a 4to1 for a 205. Can you? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

i have 5.29 with a set of 38s on my land cruiser and it put the speedo back to stock. i mean it not off more than 2 mph. go low you will enjoy it much more on the trail. mike

With 38.5" tires @ 70mph your engine will be spinning about 3230rpm w/ 5.29's or 2987 rpm w/ 4.88's. It's your call.
