The manual shows that Tiger rear ends are:  Salisbury hypoid =
=E2=80=984.HA=E2=80=99 with a 2.88 to 1 ratio.  What does the 4.HA stand =
for?

My understanding is these are posi traction meaning both wheels are =
applying power.

Those of you with 2.88 rear ratio gears, wide ratio 4 speed top loader =
transmissions, what is your RPM=E2=80=99s in fourth at 50, 60,70 & 80 =
MPH? =20

Those of you running other rear end rations, other factors the same, =
what are your RPM=E2=80=99s at the same speed and what ratio?

I like to drive my cars and just got back from a 1,263 mile 6 day trip =
in my original owner 1973 MGB with 229,000 miles on the car. =20

Things to consider:  1966 MK1A with 289 HiPo motor with about 300 HP and =
estimated 9.4.1 compression

600 cfm 4 barrel Holley carburetor

Headers with 2.25=E2=80=9D exhaust

15=E2=80=9D wheels running 205\50 x 15 tires

Wide ratio top loader 4 speed transmission

Believe Salisbury posi rear end=20

Closed, open, locked, posi, ratios =E2=80=93 the list is endless.  What =
I am looking for is a very streetable around town and on the highway =
posi rear end ratio that will work well with a good balance between =
acceleration for fun and highway cruising.  I am not there yet.  I have =
the acceleration for fun part in place but not the highway cruising (of =
course - avoid highways\interstate).

Data means a lot regarding RPM=E2=80=99s at speeds between 50 to 80 mph. =
 Those of you who have switched ratios, please share your pros and cons.

Thank you for your input.

Regards

Joel Martin
