Putting a 9" in the 70 maverick. It's a street car, so what's good for street yet good on the freeway? Any suggestions?[This message has been edited by 70MAVRK (edited 03-24-2004).]

alot depends on how tall of a tire you will be running but I think the 3.73 is a good choice!!

15x10 in the rear. The tire will probably be around 28 inches. It's an automatic. Im thinking maybe 3.70? This is my first car so Im not sure how its going to go yet.

With a 28" tire, 4.11s would be a good choice. That should let you trap up to about 110 MPH without shifting to OD------------------
