Surprisingly not that much 😆 I drove it for a solid hour and 20mins when I bought it, only used a quarter tank. Ive herd stories of of the gauge dropping while driving interstate speeds so we'll see what she does with 35s. Its got 3.55s I thought the gearing would be lower. A foot in the right direction.lol

Definitely need better gears in that...... 3.55's and 35's aren't a good combo for trans longevity..... You have the 47RE, so, at least it's a bit better. 4.10s would be better, 4.56 might actually be too much gear for the 8.0.

I have 4.56 and 33's, and it's definitely too much gear for those.....

I definitely have a lot of things to change on it. I'm not even doing the body swap till next year. Gonna drive it through the winter with only a few modifications. When I got that body off I'll start doing more. Easier to play that way. I really appreciate all the info man.for real.

Not a good idea. The engine has a low redline for a reason. Start going over that, and you risk things going BOOM!

Pull it apart, balance everything, and you may be able to go higher..... So far as I know, there isn't any kind of governor/rev limiter on the engine in any event.
