Re: You have to love to drive it!

Comparing Vette to truck might not be appropriate. Vette is more aerodynamic and possibly lighter. What's the truck's expected finished weight? What kind of 0-60 and / or 0 - 1/4 mile time would make you feel happy? What does the engine torque curve look like? Try to match peak torque rpm to highway cruise speed, use online simulators to check desired 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. 3.42 seems low with .57 OD available. 3.9 to 4.1 is direction I'd tend toward.

Oh, yeah, quit fooling with gear ratios and charge your battery!
