Re: [FWDLK] Maximum Overdrive

That makes a lot of sense, but I wouldn't recommend that gear ratio 
with a Powerflite unless you are content just to cruise.  I had a 
1958 DeSoto Firesweep with the 350 engine and powerflite many years 
ago.  I am pretty sure it had around a 3.36:1 rear end.  At the strip 
the car was just too hard to get going, I was running down most other 
cars I raced, but it was hard to make up a two or three car lead from 
the start.  That old car was almost impossible to beat from 30 mph though.
