Re: OD trans

your truck performs like this now with stock tires: 4:56 rear ratio

2000rpm 3000rpm 4000rpm
31mph 47mph 63mph
torque 884ft/lbs

change to 30" tires:
2000 3000 4000
39mph 59mph 78mph
torque 707 ft lbs

change tires & transmission (t5)

2000 3000 40000
49mph 73.4mph 98mph
torque 556 ft lbs


with this engine and this rear axle you will never be able to get any fuel mileage (lower engine rpm) .

You could change to a 700r4 with stock tires and this is how it would perform:

2000rpm 3000rpm 4000rpm
43mph 64.35mph 86mph
torque 646 ft lbs

PM me to discuss farther Kieth my truck with a 200hp tbi 350, 700r4, 30" tires, and a 700r4 runs 65mph at 2000rpm and has 477 ft/lbs to the ground but it is no race truck and it runs out of steam at75mph with a 30mph headwind....
