I'm running it pretty mellow off road-it just doesn't need much RPM to get around. I have to run it a little harder on the asphalt when there is any kind of grade/hill. I don't like to spin it up too much-it just makes me nervous. 4k gets my attention and by 4500 I can't stand it anymore so I try not to wind it up too much.

I'm running 33" tires and have regeared to 4.88. I've had that set up for years with no trouble. I just have one set of wheels/tires so there is no swapping around.

I really do drive mellow on the road. If I want to have fun, I throw a leg over the Honda and can get all the weirdness out of my system. In the truck, I'm usually at the speed limit-maybe 5 over if I'm really feeling rushed. I don't race from stop light to stop light or do anything weird.

I'll be able to check a few things later this week and I've got an appointment on a dyno for the 13th. At least we'll have a baseline to work from at that point.

I'm glad to hear that you don't think the timing is off a tooth. I did NOT want to have to deal with open motor surgery again.

Thanks so much for your help EB!
