Ron,
On the V6 low-end, 3.90 or 4.10 gears...especially with the 4x4. On the
V8, no need to regrind as there's plenty of cam options (new ones) out
there.

not to be nosy, but how expensive was it , I'll more than likely go this
route for my v8, my current v6 just doen't have the low end torque I am
used to and I'd really like a little more grunt, the mid range on the v6
is great, I just want the lowend to beat the other guy off the line.
