This is the ONLY time 3.07 gears are good...on high speed runs. This thing is a pig outa the hole. Launching it is kinda like trying to launch a Lincoln Continental....a big one out of the early 70s. Heck, I would have loved a set of 3.73 gears in this one....this engine gets better gas mileage at higher RPMs.

longhornmail, do all the numbers on your odometer line up still?? I was told that if the numbers are all in a straight line, then it hasn't turned 100k yet. But, if it has, the last digit won't line up with the rest? Enlighten me, please

I couldn't tell you if they do or not. I know I have seen some that do line up, and some that don't once they hit 100K.
I am thinking they do, I like to think I would notice it being crooked.
