I run 3.73 in my truck but i am heavier than you also, and i run regular brakes. I can tell you that my brakes won't hold even with the shuffle.....if my tires are hooking i can build about 3 psi before it pushes. Idk if i would go all the way to 3.23 because you lose that torque to get you some 60' but then again might make up for it at the other end. I like the 2 step idea

Yeah im pretty set on changing gears now, Yeah Chris, I am scared of the 3.23s being too little of a gear for "all around" performance... probably scream on the highway or on rolls but i do want some gear for the 1320 as well lol. Maybe a 3.42??

And yes, i have seen plenty of trucks with way less than i have as far as mods, blow the tires off on 40+ rolls with turbo setups...

Some combos just work differently, I can't explain it either. 53RUSSELL on here had a turbo on his 5.3 with 80e and 3.73s and was able to spin em real good at like 60mph. I think he said he ran 12psi. Was just a beast on the high end. IIRC he ran a 12.2 at 124mph lol.

Good thing about your combo swerve will be that 408 putting out plenty of exhaust to spool that 88mm lol. So you guys think the 3.23s will be a complete turd or are they close enough to 3.42s to not be a noticable difference. I know spoolin said either one will be fine with a rcsb.. ?
