4.56 gears slow me down what the hell!

mods compliment each other. just like a converter is needed to get the most out of a cam swap. that much gear likes to rev. cam swap is $1000, well worth money. trust me you wouldn't be dissappointed. some good tuning is needed also it sounds like. change shift points etc.
noisy gears aren't always bad. gear pattern changes from cruise to wot. pinion gear climbs and tries to pull itself into the ring gear under full throttle, changing tooth contact. its best to have centered tooth pattern under power, when the most stress is on the gears. this setup will have noise at cruise and coast. most trucks are dd so noise is an issue. sorry if that was confusing. had a mud truck (600hp bb) going thru gears as often as a tank of gas. they were quiet as stock. found a great gear guy, who set them up this way (very noisy at cruise) never broke another gear.

thanks which also have to buy the 500$ cam and a good tune which this guy really made my truck much faster at least it seems compared to my wait4meperformance tune ,theres got to be something else wrong with my truck and also i looked up the night i went to the track the hum was 94% and 91 degrees would that affect it that much

is your truck a daily driver? just remember bigger isn't always better. i'd stay under 220/220. thunder racing and comp both have nice cams. i love my lunati, it pulls hard to 6600 rpm. you might want some lt headers also, if you don't already have some. you should be able to get high 13's in the 1/4.
