Yep, you got that right. I'm running 8 3/4 suregrip 3.23's and 295 tires in 3 cars, a stock 440, a blown 440, and a slightly modified 383. All 3 cars can do badass burnouts all day long plus drive down the 4-lane 70 mph at a decent rpm.If your 440 can't spin the
tires with ease using a 3.23 gear you probably need to look into what's wrong with the engine regardless of tire height.
Lol! That's awesome. At least in my 17 year old brain in my 55 year old headThe higher the gear number, the more it multiplies engine torque. Another option is to run a hard tire that spins easily, like a Michelin. Usually, the higher the expected mileage claim, the harder the tire is.
When I first put my 440-powered 1967 R/T together, I had Suregrip 3.91's in it on Michelin tires. It was a total squeal monster, unintentionally. I hated it and changed to 3.23's. It was like driving on marbles with the taller gears.
