Agreed..

Agreed as well BUT I did 373 in my truck and it was perfect with the tire size I choose. I found a Viper t56 that was built to the hill and it came with everything including clutch and I drove 4 hours each way to pick it up and paid $1600 it had two dyno passes on new build and he decided to go automatic. So I hauled AZZ and picked it up.
