Checking current gear ratio on the car and for one complete turn of the wheel I get exactly 3 1/2 rotations of the driveshaft. Would that be 3.55 ratio?

thanks

I have 3.73's...i hate them.

I'm debating 3.55's or 3.27's...maybe even 3.31's from an 05+ Mustang

I have 3.55 on a 5 speed and a AOD car. Good all around gear.
Now I have 3.73 on my second AOD car,little more snap and little more rpm on the freeway. I am not driving 100-200 miles a day,so the payoff is alright.
