see i feel with a 5.13 you really only have 4th gear even with my 4.88's i never run in anything but 4th. and that is with a S480 with the big trubine wheel and a 1.32 ar exhaust housing. no i would agree if we were talkin a true 35 inch tire but he said 33's

I like 5.13 becuase you have room for growth... With 4.88 and 4th you MUST have the power...

If your truck is a work in progress and say 600hp now with future plans of 800ish than you can always go to a 35-36 tire..$.02

Someone needs to start production!!

I spoke with Josh last week, and he currently only has stuff in the works for the NV5600. He has interest in doing the same for NV4500's, but he said some of the gears are made onto the main shaft and therefore it will be more difficult to manufacture.

How many orders does he need before he starts production? Wipe Out Performance was suppose to have something in the works also, but nothing ever was made. If someone were to make gears, I think they would be a big seller.

I talked to Woodruff also. He said the later half of Dec he should have a trans together with the new gears. What's cool about it is he's using 6th gear as the new gear. That means you'll still have 1-5 forward gears, you'll just loose OD.
