Question

What gears??

I have a 93 f150 5.0 2wd. I would like to make it a good street truck with good power and maybe drag every now and then. I have k&n kit, headers full exhaust, port and polished heads and cam, full roller rokers. Would like to run 28 to 31 tall tires. Would 4.56 be to low of a gear.

Not for those uses, if you have an OD tranny highway milage won't even be that bad as long as you keep speeds reasonable.... like 70mph.
