I have completed my build on a blue printed 454. Its in a 71 monte ss, So its a heavy car. It has munsie 4 speed, early style. The cam is a crower hyd roller. The spec sheet shows, low rpm 1950, peak torq 3145, peak hp 4700 top rpm 5200. My tire height is 26.61. width is 11.61. I would like to be able to street it and have some fun too. What do you guys think a good ratio would be? I love this site. Alot of excellent knowledge here. Thanks!

3.55 ratio would be a good street gear for your 454. it would give you about 2700 rpm's @ 60 mph

formula mph x axle ratio x 336

Thanks for the info. That sounds like a good all around set-up.
