alright heres the deal.....i have a 95 f-150 with the 4.9 liter 6
and this is a great engine if you want to haul , tow or go for wheeling. but my truck is a 2wd and i am sick of getting burned i need more accel i hardly ever haul a big amount and i am wondering which gear ratio would throw me back in the seat.
later on i am going to get bigger cams and other mods but a more street truck gear ratio is what seems to me that would be the best thing to do be sides getting a intake and better sounding exhuast.......so what do you guys suggest?
so i am gonna go smoke a bowl while i wait

 

4.01's

Or if you still want decent gas milage 3.73's

 

There are no gears that will make the truck that you described throw you back in the seats, even if you smoke bowls all day long. You will likely always get burned if you meet even moderate competition.

 

Quit smoking weed ,save your money from that ,and drop a 5.0L in there....Much easier to mod

 

Go with 3.73's, the motor has enough torque that 4.10's would be completely useless. 3.55's work great, but I would recommend 3.73's. Convert the system to Mass Air and that will help. Speed Density is a PITA. The only problem with a 300 about accelerating fast is that it's a long stroked motor, it takes it longer to make a revolution than some other motors. I never had any problems with any of my inline sixes about lacking in power. Challenge a 302 to a pulling contest =)
