We are running 35 inch tires with a 373 gears, so we are just kicking around.

Pat would know better than I, but I would be a little skeptical about trying to run pump gas with 10.6:1 static compression ratio, particularly with that big lump stickin' up into the chamber and cuttin' off the flame front.

The other thing that won't work too well is the 3.73 gear with 35 inch tires. 3.73's will work fine with 28 inch tires, but you will need 4.88 gears to compensate for the 35's. Matter of fact, with any kind of a cam that will support the whole mess, you'll need 5.13 gears and a 3500 stall converter. You haven't seen "TURD" until you drive a 4WD truck with 35's, 3.73's and a stock torque converter, particularly with the cam you'll have to use with 10.6:1 SCR.

Looks like a totally fubar'd plan to me.
