Re: 79 C10 swap with L92 with 6L90
That's a heck of a jump from 1st to 2nd, but I now kinda understand the 3.08 gear. I still think I would have gone a bit steeper though

Re: 79 C10 swap with L92 with 6L90
Thanks guys
The truck originally had 2.76 which i was going to keep but i was worried that it keep shifting between 5 & 6 with road waves so i thought 3.08 will be nice. If i feel that the truck is lazy i change sometime. |

Re: 79 C10 swap with L92 with 6L90
At 65 mph and assumed 28" tall tires you will be at 2046 rpm in 5th and 1602 rpm in 6th so I think it will probably stay in 6th on the freeway with the power that L92 makes. With shorter tires it will definitely stay in 6th.

Re: 79 C10 swap with L92 with 6L90
I'd love to see only 3100 at 70 mph, I'm at just under 3800 rpm even with my 32" tall tires.

Toss a turbo or two on there and you can pretty much keep the same MPG you were getting cruising down the road but have a great power increase when you want it.
