9" Ford , used 2.47 gears, .010 backlash.
What are your thoughts on the pattern?

Little deep but for a used gear I would not complain a bit.

Thanks.
I have a .022 shim on the pinion, the thickest I have.
I assume it is OK to use 2 shims on the pinion carrier?

You trying to go 200mph with that 2.47 gear set? :laughing:

Not quite, but I am running the Silver State Classic Challenge again in May. I will average 145 mph for 123 miles.

The SSCC is a bucket list item for me.

Good luck :beer:
