I had one of those behind a 400 ci small block and ended up trashing the stator after about 15 passes.

its tight enough that it doesnt feel like that big of a stall until you mash on the skinny pedal a bit more. then it gets fun...
Damn you. lol

Yea, I shouldnt complain much about mileage I put on like 5K a year. I drive it like 3 days a week because I walk to work.

The ss3200 is a 2.1 str, I thought about getting that just restalled to 3400. I was kinda worried about the 2.5 of the 3600 being too much for my tires or trans.

Yea, should feel a little tighter in a lighter truck shouldnt it? But I have 373s and about a 30 inch tall tire so yours might have more gear or smaller tires?
