that would be horrible. my 86 k10 has 3.08 gears, and 31" tires.
imagine a 350, with a 650 cfm carb with the equivalent of 2.78 or 2.88 gears. GAS PIG. lol. my 94 f150 was the same way, with 3.08 gears.

Just upgraded from 29s to 32s. After seeing this thread, I checked my gear ratio. I was surprised to find 8.8 with 2.47 gears.
