    Better to be over geared than under geared. Just wish I could say mine was over geared.

    I doubt it will help too much since you are now rolling on a heavier tire than stock as well.

    We did a study on it in my stats class and across the board (for stock cars of course) we found that aerodynamics seems to play the biggest role in MPG at high speeds and we kind of fuck that by going to plate bumpers, roof racks and lifting the rig up taller. And being light weight helps in city MPG and we really fuck that with all our mods. haha

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention the biggest factor. You will now be overgeared so it will be more fun to push the throttle so you push it a lot harder more often! haha

    Drove to the shop to get aligned. First impressions are very good. Drives like stock almost. Other then weighing a lot more haha. But pulls like stock. Need to redo brake bleed. It's horrible ATM.

    Won't get to really really drive it till later today then trip this weekend!

    :D

    Go easy on it for a while. Keep the temps down during breakin. 25 miles at highway speeds and let it cool down.

    edit: IIRC, Above 180*F is the danger zone
