you cant mod a truck the same as the fbodys. they have slight differences. For a true street truck you need gearing cause we weight over 4k. What good is being in power longer if your truck is slower cause it doesnt have enough forward motion to get off the line?
unless you can leave line with say 700 hp then turn it up on big end why sacifce your setup for lower gearing just to have faster spool?
id rather be at the finish line faster then be in boost longer. converter helps yes, so does transbrake but you still need gear. Doesnt matter if its turbo, super charger, n20 or NA you want to be in your peak power crossing traps.
so if you make peak power at 6k why would you gear your truck so it crosses traps at 4800 ? is it cause you read on the net that lower gearing is better for spooling? id rather be 5800 tru traps and have a better ET. Why do you think you see so many turbo trucks with great mph and shitty ET? gearing is main reason to that
for a 28" tall tire id run 410s, hell i will be 410s and 28" rubber and will be in the hood of 800+ rwhp

Now that my set-up is in a single cab my max boost droped 5 psi due to not loading turbo enough. 4.10s were nice in the heavy extended cab but too violent on the regular cab. Burns tires at 1/4 throttle. Thinking of 342 or 373.
