, 3 speed trans (not stock), 2001 s-10 4x4 rear with 3.73 ratio, tires with overall diameter of 25". Truck pulls nice when in the 1500-2200ish area. was hoping that i can possibly get a cam to possibly compliment the few things i added like the headers, intake and carbs.
After sorting out my carb issues a while back i think it goes quite well now but i cant stop at that lol. Posted a video of it going from 0-70 a while back and i think its not half bad BUT I WANT BETTER! Granted i never drive it full out like that but still it is fun to blast it like that.
She gets off the line quite nice now but Im in third in no time. As mentioned above a few posts back i want to just slip in a new rear ratio prob around 3.23 or 3.08 and that should make my life easier. I don't mind a bit of slipping to get it going.
What 3 speed do yo have? I have a 66 Saginaw 3 speed in my 50. Nice synchronized transmission. I have a 3.08 12 bolt rear end. I can go 70+ MPH all day long, but it is a real dog in first gear under a load on an incline. Clutch really slips. I am going to switch to a T-5 and a 3.73 rear end. I can then pull stumps and drive 70 MPH (not at the same time of course). I also like the idea of extra gears to keep the engine within its optimal power band more often.
