Thanks for the replies. I certainly don't have lots of HP by modern standards, but trying to decide between street and Pro gears for my next gear set. It's for my 68 F100 that comes in just under 4000 lbs. with me in it, 5 speed manual, big slicks, and I'm trying to get it hooked up or close to hooked up. My 482 is supposed to be in the neighborhood of 650 HP, but I think I may be a little shy of that, so far only mid 12's at 114 mph, should go mid 11's if I could get some decent 60 foot times. So far I haven't tried any high rpm launches, waiting till I have a slipper type clutch and my new lower gears before I try that. Only sees limited street use and normally no long drives, haven't been over 30 miles at one time in who knows when. I've had street gears recommended, and also pro gears; looks like I'm stuck in the middle and that either choice is somewhat of a compromise.
