The people that tell you foolish things like that should be drop kicked. You will need a retune for the gears, but if you ever cam and stall it, its going to be a monster. Regardless, the gears will help.Quote:

What size tire are you running?
Gears are one of the most important parts of every build. I have rcsb with 4.8 265 70 r20 went from 342's to 410's. I was very pleased with the results. If I ever have to do it again I'm going 456's

You'll probably be happy with anything from 410 - 456 but I wish I would of went with 456 because of the lack of torque my 4.8 has and the rpm range of the cam I just bought.
456 it is i guess
on a 31.5 inch tire i gained .4 tenths going from 3.23s to 4.10s, 60ft stayed the same bc of traction issues so thats a great gain!

gears is the best difference your going to feel besides nitrous or forced induction.....gears are worth it
Don't fear the gear. I've had 4.10s and want 4.56s.
Motor? Tire size?Quote:

2500 at 70 on a 30'' tire 22s)
This should help select a gear. It shows the RPM your engine would be at in 3rd (1:1) at 65mph. Just multiply the RPM for the tire and gear combo by 0.696 (OD ratio)
