I'll bet big money his 2.5 charger isn't still making power at 4800... My 3"x4.4" charger can be pulled down below 3500 rpm without falling off... If I hit 4800 rpm through the middle of the track it will be lucky to pull down to 4000 rpm.
What front locker & gears for 2.5 truck

4.56 in direct drive still don't seem to fast? I have some at home but was thinking of putting 4.88 in it. For 800-1000 horse truck
Depends on rpm u want or expect to hit... For 800-1000hp 4.88's-5.13's IMO, 1200-1400hp could get away with 4.56's no problem.
3.42's is your "good as it gets" option to keep street ability and drag racing options available. Squeezing 35's on for pulling duty would be even better.
I have tried and tried to leave the line with my LMM in 4lo/3rd gear but it just governors out at 800 degrees and 6psi of boost. As soon as I let off the brakes it takes off like a rocket. On the other hand if I put it in 4hi and leave in first I can build up to 20 psi of boost and 1000 degrees and it screams when I let off the brakes. Mark has went over my tuning several times and says its all fine, and it is an LMM thing. What I wanna know is what will I break if I try to pull in 4hi/1st gear. I have a locker box, and billett shafts in my tranny. Plus Im in the mid 700's for power.
anyone ever buy a shorter gear trying to get more rpm and keep the same speed... Then find out they dont have the power to gain that 500? lol I'm scared thats gonna happen to me
