i am going to 4.88's also. Even in stock tire mode, i wanted to have a little bit higher RPM for the speed and gear i was in. We have two trucks with stock tires and 4.30's and i really like the engine speeds they run at. With 36's (355/60) and 4.88's, i will have the equivalent of a 4.27 ratio if it were to have stock tires. So that's pretty close. 4.56's would get me a 3.99 ratio and i don't know if that is steep enough for me.. Currently i have a 3.26 effective ratio.

Well i really like the feeling or the torque launching you into the backseat. Now with my setup i dont really get any of that, my seat back has had an easy time. With 4.30's on our trucks, it runs 2000-2025rpm at 60mph. I rarely go over that because i dont drive on the highway much. Most of the time i cruise 50-55 and that would be at 1750 for me or so. Now i cruise 50mph at a little under 1200rpm.

For the record I love my superduty....BUT (j/k). Plan on buying a duramax LBZ in May. This is happening because my wife can't drive a stick and I want most bang for the modded buck.
320 hp to the wheels and 560 lb-ft of torque stock. Now the only reason I agreed is because my truck is being sold to family with option to buy back first before they list to others. Thought I would post the numbers to the guys interested in what they make at the wheels. Better get some drugs.
Again I'm a Ford Superduty fan, wife is not (don't hate me).

Bye the way, hooking a chain and having a tow off only proves somone got the jump, as stated above, or someone is getting better traction. An official race at a race track (for safety reasons) will show who has best power, bumper to bumper tow offs are for kids.
