I'm going to have my R/Ts A568 rebuilt soon. I'm wondering if it will be worth it to have the 3.50 gear from a A523 installed into it. Basically I'd like to have lower RPMs cruising on the highway and I think it would help with traction too.
How much power should my R/T be making to really take advantage of the lower final drive at the dragstrip? I don't want to be up against the rev limiter in 4th gear at the end of the 1/4.....but the R/T weights a lot so maybe I should keep the stock 3:85 gear.
Also, are the parts needed to do the A568/A523 available from Mopar? Seems like it makes more sense to buy the new parts rather than track down and ship an A523.
