[Healeys] Transmission OD - 22% vs 28%

[Simon Lachlan]

My BT7 has 28% and 3:54. Seems to pull fine at all rpm. (I've a "Fast road
Cam" and 3 HD6s).
I suspect that one can get pretty much all the response that one needs at
pretty well any rpm, but may choose to go into overdrive a fraction later.
For longer, faster, straighter runs the 28/3:54 combo is ideal in my
opinion.
Simon.

I have a BT7 w/ a 22% O'd and a 3.54 rear end.  It also has a mild cam grind

(no lope).  It won't pull if the engine is below 2000 RPM, but it is great 
at 80 MPH.
