I would fit a close ratio box.
I have a 4.9 and 400x 18's on one car and it feels good.Another has 350x19's on a 5.25 and I think it's undergeared.
Dave,
I think it feels overgeared in top i.e the engine is going too slow.
Trying 17's is a good idea. By my reckoning the ratio of the wheel diameters is 0.894 and the ratio of the diffs is 0.933 so the wheel change should prove a point. I'll see if I can borrow some.
I've started a conversation with Andrew Bird too.
Thanks Alan
