Try 2.21:1 rear end. That's what mine had. A bunch came out of the factory that way. A waste of time to run a 1/4 mile with them, but they were made to open up and run. Most came with lower rears, but not much .I never saw a stock goat that couldn't do 160 no problem Most came out of the factory geared to run, people who wanted street racers generally switched them to lower sets later, although there was almost endless options for the things.
