I did not want to run the stock intake or water pump, or fool around with spacers to use standard deck BB intakes.
There are few available intakes for tall deck BB. Even less for peanut port heads.
I called Dart and explained everything I wanted from my application. The tech there said in this application it would start to pull at 3000.
The truck runs great. The old diesel would scream at 65 mph with the 4.56 rears. The gasser sounds great and runs very smooth at highway speeds. Works well when I'm off road and in low range. Pulls and haul loads extremely well. The engine has lots of torque and does not seem bothered at lower rpms. It was not put together as a fuel miser.
