hey i am thinking of purchasing a wade 977B
i was curious will it be all ok in an auto 3 speed with a low ratio diff 2.73 i think im not wanting a huge gain but i don't want to lose any low down power will it effect the low down at all? i understand its a medium to high level rev range cam but im just worried since i got no stall converter and need it as a daily |

with a diff ratio of 2.77 a 977b is going to be a touch gutless down low..
best to go with one of the smaller cams or change the diff ratio to something shorter then 2.77, like a 3.23? |

Yeah i plan to get one. Got a tickford head waiting to go on, just need the money. Would advancing one tooth on a standard gear help? Or would it be too much? I will be getting a vernier but was thinking that might help for now.
