    your worried about top end as in how? 70+ pulls? or 1/4 mile? i thinkthe 3:73 would do fine behind an 80e an even if you run a 30" tire your top end will be fine. youd need more hp to run with FI guys but im strickly a bolt on truck an gonna stay N/A for a while.

    if i can get 12.9 outta my CC with the 6.2 on DRs or ET streets ill be happy an move on to another project. 02 camaro with a 5.3/60e an a 3000 stall along with tall gears (its a DD not a track queen)

    you should try an make the next PT.net meet depending where it is. a lot of guys go an have some badazz trucks/cars
    Well when I said top end I was talkin bout road trips on the interstate. I wanna run relatively low rpm bout 70-80mph for gas mileage and comfort. I wanna be able to haul my bike to track comfortably.

    I'm gonna try to make as many meets as I can but I'm usually really busy between schoolin days and workin nights with few days off. Plus, my truck needs paint/body/wheels/suspension work before it can really be presentable around truck guys lol.

    It can't be any worse than Lambo's truck. Bring it out!
