Ok, I checked with the guy who built my new Muncie, he used a 2.56 first gear and with my 3.55 the math comes out to 9.088. He used the 2.56 first gear to match what I have now with the Saginaw as I told him I did not want to loose the low first gear. The guy is also shocked that I have gotten away with this Saginaw for so long. He said I better get the new Muncie installed soon now that my car is running correct as I just can not keep my foot out of the gas now!
