my rear end ratio isnt great for the transmission and tires and my motor doesnt have enough torque to pull 3rd (top gear) super strong... when i shift (depending at what rpm i shift) it drops to 1200-1600rpm. and its reletively slow till it hits the 2k mark and then it pulls really strong... i know the 3.73's are helping my mileage though cause when im doing like 75 its only at 2500rpm and 2100rpm when im doing 60-65.... I did the conversion and i wouldnt consider it a weekend transmission swap... its kinda in depth but only barely...
