Re: 4.8 no power!

Mine's a real dog too, 3.23 gears and 275/55/20 (almost 31") tires kind of hard to beat the mini-vans through the intersections.

It's kind of a curse though because when I do get up to speed I run 80mph at about 1900 RPMs which makes me kind of prone to getting tickets.

I have a 212/218 cam ready to go in, I'm changing gears to 4.10 and maybe a torque converter. Future plans include an LY6 (6.0) swap with cam and head work.

What gear do you have?
