stock gears are 3.27's



if you are unsure about the gearing here's what to do. get the back tires off the ground. make a mark on the inside of the tires, & also on the drive shaft. turn the driveshaft & for one full rotation of the driveshaft the tires should turn about 3 & 1/3 times if you have 3.27's (technically 3.27 times) or 3 & 3/4 time for 3.73's & so on & so forth

2k@70mph sounds right for stock gearing.

Backwards lad. Three point two seven turns of the driveshaft for each turn of the road wheels

If you want to be more accurate, turn the road wheels like 10 or twenty times and count the rotations of the driveshaft...ratio still equals # of driveshaft turns/number of wheel turns. Doing this helps pull out some of the uncertainty about fractional rotations of the driveshaft.
