What gears do you have in yours? I got 3.73s and i'm still spinning one and i can't drop down and nail it under 50 either.

 

Okay..that makes sense. If I am racing in my dodge I always put it in 4hi. I beat almost everything off the line after that it goes either way.

 

3.73s.

2nd gear lasts til 50-55mph....and 3rd gear takes me to 95mph.

thinkin about putting some 17's on mytruck with good tires and 4.56 gears...

cant decide whether to lift/lower/go faster....i need 3 trucks

 

i have my 2nd going 60 now and my 3rd goes a little over 100, raised rev limiter to 6300

 

id like to raise my rev limit...i still feel(even stock) that im still making decent power before the rev limiter.

 

You've got an awesome truck to build, that 4-wheel drive will let you come off line and down the strip w/no wheelspin during shifts. I have a peg leg with the same gears and off nitrous spin at least 400ft down track, and on nitrous i have a measured 537ft black mark from just 3rd gear and then about a 25ft in 4th.

 

wow lol.

yeah i plan on lowering it abit with some 17's and nice meaty tires all around. than im gonna build up a 6.0 block. but the lowering/wheels coul dhappen in a year...however the 6.0 block will be 2-3 yrs...lol unless i find a better job sometime soon...

 

I don't think that this is a bad idea as long as you're not too concerned about gas mileage. I went from a 3.73 to a 4.10 but I think a little more gear wouldn't have hurt anything especially if you are planning to run taller tires. Either way you guys will REALLY like 3rd gear with a lower gear change.

 

my 3rd gear feels like it takes forever....but i love my 2nd gear

however i think 4.56's might be to much...might just go with 4.10's and some stock size tires or maybe slightly smaller diameter tires.

 

yeah the beginning of my 3rd feels a little sluggish, but it's 75-100+ pull is crazy fast, esp. on the juice. JM, you been to the track lately and got any times?
