I ended up with 3.90's in my old truck, they were about perfect for everything honestly.

Hmmmm. 3.90s. The only reason i am not going back with 4.10s is the cruise RPM. I choose to drive my truck everyday vs driving the honda. I dont care about the MPG it is just kinda annoying wrapping rpms driving down the highway.

I think Rick said it best concerning gears and turbos...

"Do you want to go fast or make boost easy?"

I think you have to have $50,000 in cash to even give those guys a call.
