CWM...do your calculations first....with your tire and wheel size it looks like you'll be doing a whopping 57 mph at 2200 with 3.08's compared to the 70 your doing now with 2.75's... give or take a mph... with your 1 to 1 final drive 5th gear. I know you want more acceleration but you also have to watch your cruising rpm's on the highway.

Let the torque of the big block do it's thing and keep the gears, just my opinion of course.

The bottom line is... at what rpm's do you feel most comfortable on the highyway and at what speed do you want to maintain those rpm's...then gear accordingly.
