I've had the 4'.11's with an auto and had no problems it was a nice kick in
the ars when you hit the gas. If not for the shoddy install of the gears I
would still have them. I went back to the 3.55's mainly because I wasn't
racing the truck much at the time and my origional gears had only a few
thousand miles on them.
Final decision is they were more fun than 3.55's and I could still hit the
speed limiter with plenty of rpm to go
