yea i no wat ur sayin man...as for the gear ratio in the tranny here
is what i found:
1st - 6.55 NS
2nd - 3.58
3rd - 1.57
4th - 1.0
R - 6.54

it has an rv cam in it now but it aint enuff...plus i want a sum lope
to it haha...i have the heads pulled now to rebuild them and i figured
that while i have her apart i should go ahead and do the cam now...But
i also need her to have a little bit of top end for daily driving and
once ina blue moon i needa take her out on the highway cruisin at only
bout 60..if im lucky haha im def. thinkin bout the x-treme 4x4 from
comp it seems ideal for me....thanks
