I have a 72 ss with a new 350, stock vortec heads, 212 in 222 ex @.050 cam, 9.6:1 comp, Edelbrock RPM intake, carter 625 carb, full length headers, 2.5 in. exhaust w/ flowmasters, and a th350.
The engine has been rated at 330 horse does this sound correct? My real problem is rear end gears. What should I be running? Right now i have the stock 2.73
gears and i know this is killing me. The car is a dailyu driver for now. I was thinking 3.55's or 3.73's?

Thanks Wes, much appreciated.
Could anyone out there possibly run my setup through a dyno and drag program. I tried to download one and had some problems. I'm curious as to my horsepower and my 1/4 mile time and speed. Please help out.

Gene, thanks for running that for me. Do you or anyone else think the 3.73 gears would have me revving too high while cruising at 60 to 65 mph?
