    have you ever dynoed the truck on nitrous? , what rpms are you crossing the traps? this is where your powerband comes into play, i mean yeah you can regear the truck BUT what if it then comes to be touch much gear? you have 4:10s now, you gotta know what your truck is doing, to get the fullest out the setup..


    truck'n from his sig and the times posted and being a 5.3 i think hes already running a 200 shot of nitrous
    Simple: 408 on steroids!

    Totally didn't see that, so sorry. Yes, knowing your power band is key. If you're doing 1/8th mile a tall gear is nice, but you gotta know your power band. If it's way high, get a high stall converter and a tall gear.
