Hi David,
Yeah, shifting at 7-10 MPH sounds about right. To be honest, when I
ordered the truck, I didn't know that they had a 4:1 first gear. If I had, I
would've gotten 3.23's. I do plan on modifying the truck though... probably
the whole 'Magnum R/T' package if they ever release a computer... hopefully
the 3.92's will work better in that application (my other reason for the
gear choice - performance) :-)
