The firebird has the TH400 transmission, 8.2 10 bolt Pontiac rear end. need something with more pulling power and still comfortable to drive down the hi way. 3,08 or 3.36 ? had a TH350 in car but 455 with  60 over mild camshaft, ate them ! Went with 400 now lost some pull in 1st and 2nd gear. what to do and how much?Answer:  You can figure you RPM at whatever MPH you want to drive with this formula RPM = MPH X Gear Ratio X 336 then divide this by the tire diameter in inches.Here are some options we recommend see if any of these will work for you:
