Hense "taken with a grain of salt";
I will not argue with anyone that the 2.20 1st gear with a 3.55: was less than ideal - but it was offered that way from the factory more than once - I just chose the lowest hp & least ideal gear combination (1973 L75 & M21) as the worst case in which Pontiac offered it. This was also the standard gear combination that the 1971 & 1972 Trans Am's came with. Like I said, I suspect that torque is the key factor in making this less than ideal combined first gear ratio liveable - it would probably be painful for a low compression 400, and even worse in a 350.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
