Default Help with Gears, 4.10's not cutting it w/Turbo

I been running my 4.10's since i was really hoping to avoid changing rear gears again, but looks like since i turbo'd i need to look at a change... Truck pushes before it can build boost at line and does not load truck well enough in the RCSB.. based on mods in sig you guys think back to 3.42's or i even have some 3.23s??? Thanks in advance

Don't want to swap gears? Drop in a 2-step or a transbrake

gear swap wont help much, but just to verify put it in second gear and stall it up, see if it gets you anywhere.

Hmm... You think gears could be causing my problem of 10psi in first but boost drops to 7psi in second and does not build back to 10 psi before shifts again to third.

I would only change gears if you have no traction or are redlining at the quarter. Do you know how to syty shuffle so that you don't push though at launch? Work with your set up a little more before spending.

I think 10# in first is pretty good for 4.10s... At what rpm are you hitting that? Tire size??

Man im at 10psi at around 4k, so it seems to spool ok. My biggest question is that one would think traction would be horrible, but I really dont have too much trouble.. I hear guys breaking loose on 40 rolls, I just go lol with no spin at all. So am I low on power, or truck just hooks lol I dunno. Oh and I run 28.5 inch tires on 18 inch titans
