Yeah i originally had a 3.25 in it. The place previously tuning my truck said itd be great with a 4.10.. i was like hrm, ok. So i found a 4.33 super cheap so i went with it. It was to low and my new tuner agreed.. so my dad had a 9" in the attic with a 3.50. So i tore it apart yesterday and we got it swapped out. Still a 35-40 roll itll blow the tires off the truck if i stomp it.

Next on the list of things to get are

drag radials
stall
cam
port stock heads

I try and run the lowest numerical gear that the motor will pull . I had a 4.10 in the blue truck . This new truck has more motor so 3.60 is what im gonna try . Great thing about Ford gears ,, you can get them in any ratio except where the same pinion gear stays in contact with the same ring tooth and i think they even sell those .

Great choice on the dog.....Corgis are fantastic dogs... I have had many grace my home over the years...just be careful not to over feed it, extra pounds is a big problem with their longs backs.

Oh and nice trucks btw...lol

Corgi is already a little chunk. Gonna keep control over how much he eats though

Got everything put on this morning before going with dad to get a lathe he bought. Even hooked a horn up. Got high/low tone horns from oreilly and they sounded like garbage. So I robbed the stock horns off the dodge :D

Yeah it was freakin packed. We got there at 7. Left at 11. Made two passes. We stood in the staging lanes for around two hours while they cleaned the track, made a couple passes then prepped more. All lanes were full wrapping up into the parking lot around 10:45. So we loaded the car up and left.
