    Just because that old stink'n b-model can't swing like a DeeTroit ya ain't gotta be sad.. Get rid of the flip phone, & get some electronic fuel injection already man!! Yer livin in the past man!! :D Lmao

    Ok, now that that's out of the way.. lol

    I've been offered a set of 3.73.. I'm concerned it'd put me to low of an rpm for my dinky 11.1 at a decent cruise speed.. Right now I'm right in its power band at 1550-1700, 63-70mph..

    Oh snap, I'm only gonna be 98miles from Turbotville, PA monday AM.. Maybe I can get it tweak out sooner than later..

    Ahhh, I didn't consider any of that..

    Guess it would have made more sense to look into all this last year while the top end was apart, & I got a new factory spec camshaft put in.. :oops:

    2750 rpm in a series 60 is where stock injector rocker arms fail.

    Yours would live a long life with 2100 rpm as rated rpm. This is peak horsepower point. Not peak torque. Peak torque is still gonna be around 1450-1500 rpm. That said is why I like 1600-1700 cruise rpm. When you pull it down to 1450 down shift.

    300 rpm splits with 13 speed trans is ideal. 1450 rpm, and down shift puts you at 1750. Ready to keep pulling down.

    You can still blame this on the grain cart driver. The off road dump truck driver of the farming community. :D

    You could get a factory supercharged 6.2l. They will take it.

    If I was building on a budget. I would use a iron block 6.0l for normall aspirated.

    If I was gonna hang a hair dryer on one. Iron block 5.3l. You will need aftermarket heads, but you are gonna have to get wild to destroy the bottom end.

    There was a series of all aluminum 5.3l truck engines. Those I know very little performance info.
