Why the 4.11's in the diff? Without reading the entire thread you running a glide? That would kinda explain the gears.

It won't need 4.11's, personally I think you will be better off with 3.45's. Match the stall up correctly and the thing will be a weapon. Its just a personal opinion. With something like an LS motor, you still have bulk torque off boost compared to a RB engine for arguments sake. With the correct stall they just come on and fry the ass off them no matter what really so I guess it doesn't matter. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

to be honest luke is right, you should really go for 3.45's as your motor will pull it up easy with the torque. I am going the same ratio in my setup, but like he said also it will fry it regardless.....
