I'm running 31's and my speedo was reading about 5 mph faster than I was going with the new R&P set. I was able to calibrate it with the TruSpeed box Everet had brought to our attention a while ago. I also found that my gas mileage dropped about 2-3 mpg. It improved some after running the rear gears for 500 miles and changing out the gear oil... but that may also have been due to the oil level being slightly overfilled from the initial install. I like the 5.38 gears - makes it a little quicker off the line. But I'm running around 3250 rpm at 70 mph. Sounds like my little engine is screaming!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Nice work! Looking forward to more photos and build details!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
