this is a street strip car? I don't think I want to come down that street! LOL Anyway for the most part I think stocker guys use somewhere between 2.90 & 3.10 low gear. what trans are you running? Like dave said before your 60' is a little off....I turn 1.61 60's but that with a 3600# car running 12.70's. I think a lower gear will make it a little more "street" frendly......now then can you "hook" the car after you do that?......I guess the question is are you happy with the car? If your not go for it....add some gear ! my 6 cyl picked up .15 going from a 1.82 to a 2.08 low gear in a powerglide.
