That was a 3.73 gear with 315/60/15 drag radials.

I swear by verter over gear and the right trans settings.

Your stock 6.0 will be happy all the way around from stoplight WOT to 65-75mph freeway cruises at a nice mellow rpm being you have 3.50 gears.

Good luck with traction with said converter at WOT.
Interesting... I'll have to talk to my tuner. Thanks!
