If I were to stay with 35's, I would prob have just went with 4.88's. However, I wanted the flexibility to go up to 37's, and the 5.13's was the perfect choice for me.

3200-3300...!!!

wow... i know the power band is way higher on this motor, but that just seems high for cruising on the highway..?
Granted, i'm comming from a cummins diesel that red lined at 3...

hmmm...

That does seem high! I plan to stay with 4.88s with a manual, but only go to 35s.
