<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;">Consider a 5 speed (or 6 speed). With a high overdrive you can cruise at 70 at around 1500-1700 rpm.</span></div>

<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">The manual shows that Tiger rear ends are: Salisbury hypoid ‘4.HA’ with a 2.88 to 1 ratio. What does the 4.HA stand for?</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">My understanding is these are posi traction meaning both wheels are applying power.</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Those of you with 2.88 rear ratio gears, wide ratio 4 speed top loader transmissions, what is your RPM’s in fourth at 50, 60,70 & 80 MPH? </p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Those of you running other rear end rations, other factors the same, what are your RPM’s at the same speed and what ratio?</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">I like to drive my cars and just got back from a 1,263 mile 6 day trip in my original owner 1973 MGB with 229,000 miles on the car. </p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Things to consider: 1966 MK1A with 289 HiPo motor with about 300 HP and estimated 9.4.1 compression</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">600 cfm 4 barrel Holley carburetor</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Headers with 2.25” exhaust</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">15” wheels running 205\50 x 15 tires</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Wide ratio top loader 4 speed transmission</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Believe Salisbury posi rear end</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Closed, open, locked, posi, ratios – the list is endless. What I am looking for is a very streetable around town and on the highway posi rear end ratio that will work well with a good balance between acceleration for fun and highway cruising. I am not there yet. I have the acceleration for fun part in place but not the highway cruising (of course - avoid highways\interstate).</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Data means a lot regarding RPM’s at speeds between 50 to 80 mph. Those of you who have switched ratios, please share your pros and cons.</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Thank you for your input.</p>
<p class="yiv3614920762ydpe3a33268MsoNormal">Regards</p>
