    Great write up.

    I can certainly vouch for the difficulty in removing the ball joints on the center link.

    "the off the line punch is more pronounced with the gear swap if you don't have a free-flowing exhaust. The lack of back-pressure takes away from the torque aspect. ...at least in my experience with it all."

    Don't you gain all that back tho if you install a 'lectric fan?

    Or you can just punch some "speed holes" in the hood and fenders!

    Thumbs up

    I'll say it again......Great write up! BTW - Did you also install your drop differential bracket while you swap the gears?
    Peace.
