Actually it is about 400RPM and about 3miles per gallon better milage with the 2.79 on a 302 car. This does add up in the long run, especially if you commute more than 30miles one way per day.
: ....about 200 RPM. That's it.

: : the 2.79 will give you slightly better highway mileage, but the 3.00 will give you better off the line times. the mileage really isnt a great matter between these two. id use the 3.00. unless youre trying to do a resto. in which you should use which ever one came in the car
