Ok, back to the drawing board.
Chuck has been swearing up and down I had 3.50 gears and I figured they were 4.11. I just went to the garage and they turn out to be 3.50. So not only do I have to admit I was wrong but all my plans are in the toilet.
I think I need to chill on the tires for another month and really come up with a good long term plan. Spending twice the money to get to the same place is not what I want but the road I am currently going down leads me to that very outcome.
The 3.50 gears most certainly explains why I am getting bogged down!!!
I want to start thinking about 37" tires, AOD, and possibly gears in the 5.11+ range. That will put me at 2180 RPM at 70MPH.
I am currently taking donations!!!
