Default Lol 3.23 to 4.56 4.8?

So I raced a 1/2 ton hemi with 3.90 something gears in my 3.23 4.8 with 320k miles... The hemi has 90k... And with my CAI and eBay headers, I won Lol.. How bad could I make him cry with 4.10/4.56s?

The hemi was running fine, they are just gutless above 40... I have a hypertech max energy, it only helped shift firmness. The trucks always ran 100% I have cats deleted with a single borla xr-1round.

I had the rev limiter at 6k so I could grab every little pinch of power from 2nd.

gutless above 40-- I say they are gutless below 35. my 06 2wd qcsb is about 5700lbs with 3.92 gears. dodges gearing in the trans are better than 4l60 gearing. dodges downfall is they are overdriven cas of the double overdrives in the 545rfe. Not to mention stock 20s are 33" tall and tire/rim combo about 90lbs per tire/rim. the most popular upgrade in dodges are to put 4.56's in to give the mechanical advantage back to the truck. its only 300rpms higher from 3.92 to 4.56 anyways and the trucks get better fuel mileage. now I know 4.8s like rpms higher than 5.3s is why I said 4.30s you wont be to high.
