    Honestly think that the 4.56s would be too much gear for a 4.8 unless your planing on having big rims....stick to some 4.10s or 4.11s n preferably i would go with a yank stall instead of a cirlce d..

    ok ok, these NNBS RSTs come with 22s on a 305/40/22 reason 4.56s came to mind was most people say they wake these heavy trucks up but will consider those 4.10/11s

    Yeah its a weekend and would like to drive it on the highway at least 2 times out of the week, so what about porting the heads and the holley intake with the 456s and 3600 stall? No bueno? The truck is a crewcab fyi lol

    Never mind porting the heads. For a what a set of CNC ported, milled brand new heads cost now, I don't see the cost effectiveness. Unless you know head porting like the back of your hand. And 4.8s love to rev, in a heavy ass crew cab you're really gonna have to take advantage of that. Lots of gear, lots of stall, spin the piss out of it.
