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

i agree, the 410 would be way too much gear for his set up, hes already gonna break loose bad, why would you want to just make it worse? you see extreme vettes and stuff and the biggest gear you see on them, other than strict 8th mile racers is a 3.73 usually and with the weight of his truck he should be just fine, if hes stalling to 4k what gear does it really matter at that point? hes already breakin his power band and his motor will be doing most of the work, not the gears, maybe if he was trying to work with a 3k stall the 410+ would be needed...

.sorry 410 isnt that large of a gear really. i run that in my stang and have no issues, we built cars with 410s and dont have issues. if you cant hook you set it up wrong easy as that.
yes the setup was in a 3400lb ride. his truck with that setup will be around 3650 with driver. that cam revs to 7k. hell need a gear to help him get there fast and then stay in the upper range with shifting. he also has the 80 for a tranny which also eats up some lowend.
he can run what he wants but deff saying setup up in gear. go do some searching and see most ppl running the MS3 or equilant are running 373 at minimum.
next youll say 410s and my T2 is a bad setup,
or another setup we did with 456s in a 3500 with the Trex.
with large cams that are high rpm range cams you want steep gears
