should have been geared 3.90's with those weights. - Invest in a set of rears for it ASAP. Goddamn stealersd$it should have been taken out back and shot for selling it with those tall rears and those kinds of weights... goddamn thing will not get out of its own way hardly like that... and it tortures the life out of the engine.

Like Tree said.. I give it 400 - 500k miles and your be tearing the head off it for one reason or another with it geared tall and having to fight all that low-end torque to get it up to speed and to keep the momentum all the time. Your destines to drive it a gear or two down from top gear all the time too, just to keep from lugging it everywhere.
