NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!! more gear should be used, he has a LQ4 and 9.5CR with the MS3. he is going to need all the gear he can get. his power under the curve wont be as good as others. if he bumped up the CR some then it would help with under the curve power. also the 80 is going ot eat up alot of low end which now he is short on some. 410s in the combo is what he should go with or very least 373. its a high reving setup so hes going to need the gear to help him get up there and stay there. if you recall trucks arent the most aerodynmaic friendy rides.

also XtremeS10 if you run 355 up at FLD you wont see nothing but my tail lights.
