Can you feel the difference from 323 to 355's?

[Moparal]

I Had 323's in my car----so/so.... I put 410's in it and loved it. I am sure it is good for maybe 2 tenths or more or better.  I put the 323's back in and wasn't happy.  I don't have to go over 3k on an interstate or cruisin.

I just had my dana 60 done, it has 354's in it. I am wondering if maybe I should step back up to 410's?  I used to run 11.98 with my 355's many years ago in my street car and a 440 with an automatic, but I had a 4500 turboaction stall and it took care of slow out the hole. I have a 4spd now, and 28" tall tires.

Just trying to get the low down before I install the rear. I may be doing a gear change

yes you will feel the difference , as for what is the right move only you can decide

Al,

  If you don't plan to highway cruise with this, and are just interested in racing it... it sounds like 4:10's are your ticket.     The 3:54's sound like a nice compromise if you want to do a little of each.

I think there are aftermarket 3.73 or 3.91's available.

The stick won't be as bad as the auto on the highway - no converter slip.  You can always run 28" tires on the highway and 26" sticky tires at the track.

3.91's are the best all around gear

Kinda like that idea myself if you don't want to go back to a steep gear

if you never drive over 60 mph

Old hp mopars were really not intended for highway speeds unless they were equipted with 323 gears. I wont be interstate driving, I live in the country. So 60 is ok untill I need wot. But I will install the 354's for now and then latter swap to the 410's. I also like 391's in a bb street car. They work very good.  I always used a rule of the thumb, 3k while cruising whatever the speed with larger gears.

ord offered the 3.73 gears for the Dana , could be the best choice
