Okay Strokin, I have the auto with dual RW and 4.10 so now anyway, I do run at 2500 a lot up grades to try and keep EGT's in check. I really considered the .91 because of this. I don't want to hurt my EGT's again. If I can keep it 1200 or less I would love it. I wanted the 160/100 but don't think towing my 16K toyhauler would be any fun. Have to have the right tuning for sure. If I can keep it at 60 up these grades with no traffic I'd be happy. Seventy if I wanted to would be great. I try and keep it at 65 towing most of the time. Here in California 60mph. That is my best mpg to. I don't like smoking guys out trying to keep up my speed either. Always been a problem up high. God bless

Auto and 4.10s will make a 1.00 less of an issue. I think you'd be solid copying Glenn's setup 160/0 or 160/30, S366 with a 1.0 housing. If you end up not liking the spool characteristics swapping to a 0.91 isn't a huge deal.

They are on both of them out of the sealing area, and don't go all the way through. Only thing I can figure is they are used to hold them in a jig? I'm not sure honestly.

We use them for alignment on the fixture when we have them in the anodizing tank.
