i just put my 4.10s in with a cc and 31.5 in tires. while it is a big improvement coming from 3.23's i prolly could have gone 4.30s. so for u with 33's i think 4.56 would be nice. you can still add the heads later and have even more power too. what about intake mani to go with the heads?

havent really put much thought into the intake yet was thinking maybe just putting the tbss intake but with the aftermarket heads i dunno if the tbss intake is even worth the swap

hi I am having the same debaite hear as well my 2500 avy is a heavy truck but with the money I put into the 8.1 it seems slow I talked to yank converters and they told me with the towing that I do changing my stall was out of the question they recomended that I just put in lower gears. factory I have 3.73. I am also running 285-70R17 BFG
KM2s I am trying to decide weither to do 4.10 or 4.56. right now I am leaning toward the 4.56s. my truck has a lot of low end grunt but I still like to have a little fun hear and there. I raced a couple in a bmw 5 series last week and got in front of him and he didn't pass me back up till I was almost through 2nd gear. I SAY GO WITH 4.56 gears
