Glad you finally made it to the conversation....we got another Nova here. wink

Yeah, I keep quoting the "kiss of death" 3.08, but he was just in reference to early Chevy IIs with a Powerglide in comparison to the 3.55 it had initially. I don't think that applies to the TH350 because of the deeper first gear. The question at hand is that TonyPA has a 3.08 Posi on his Nova and is wondering what he should upgrade it to.

For me, my 2.73 is the performance ratio for 3.50 1st Sag, while the 3.08 would be the high perf upgrade.
