Never thought of that. After 4lbs it starts pushing truck forward

As slow as FLT is I'd get tranny back next year sometime maybe. And if I can get em to put it in

Jakes Performance brake FTW.... Maybe a little spray out of the hole to help it spool. Gear and tire setup is fine IMO. It just sounds like it doesn't have the power bite it needs to hit hard.

I want a t brake bad. But I doubt FLT would be happy bout tearing into thier tranny. Lol

what kinda of gears would be good if im running a 32.97" tall tire? i was thinking 3.88 or 4.10?

373 or 342

Depends on your power. 500 or less 4.10 over 500 3.73 imo

I loved my 411's with boost.... but went back to the 342 since I put the th400 in. With the 342 and 3600 stall I'm cruising around 2800 rpm at 65mph.

You're spinning Shawn... watch in high def and look at the tires closely...
