Glad to hear she's running soooo gooood.- Steve

Steve, I'm just running the stock gears, 3.42 IIRC. In some of my very early threads where I brought up the lack of power, the higher engine temps, the lugging of the engine in 6th gear, is when some members mentioned that they felt 6th gear was a useless gear unless you had a lower ratio like your 3.73 or a 4.10 gear. Which then made 6th a more usable gear on the highway. And like yourself, I only use 6th 65 or above, whereas before I stayed in 5th 99% of the time.
The way mine is running now, I feel it is a perfectly well balanced machine for me with the performance, the ride and the handling. I couldn't be happier, all I need to do now is more detail work in the interior, under the hood and the suspension.

Btw, would be great if you and the Mrs. could make Gettysburg in Oct.
