He has 3.55's not 3.73's. 3.73's are in chevy 1/2 tons and a few dodge 3/4 tons. I dont remember if ford runs that same gear ratio. Hell, my shift point is at like 30 lol, but thats because my shift kit is all out of whack right now.

I ran a datalog on mine before I got my transmission fixed and I was able to pull an 8.2, I will see what I can do with it now that it shifts right, but I do know that it is much quicker, super noticeably quicker.

I've gotten a lot of private PM's about this. So im going to answer it on here quick. My exhaust is very simple, just cut out the muffler, and weld in a straight pipe. Leave the cat. And it will sound that badass :-)

*Cheer 5.9*
