Your best bet for all round is a 59/72. You don't have the gearing to go bigger.

i may re gear the truck to 3:73 or 4:10's if that's an option honestly I thought 3.55's would be the cats azz but rpm's are too low on the highway and its lugging the motor until it downshifts unless i'm doing 80-85 which is faster then i like to drive and it will stay in 4th if i slow down to 50mph which is slower then i like to drive....plus i'm only 33's now i plan to go to 35's so 3.73's or 4.10's are probably ideal for me.

i have two trucks...who says you have to use all 1200hp? you wouldn't spray nitrous while towing would you? I wouldn't either... so it wouldn't be 1200hp just like right now towing 7,000lbs in a race file isn't towing with a 600hp truck unless i hold it wide open which would be dumb....so using a little common sense its fine and when i need it the extra power is there like merging onto the highway or pulling out quick during traffic time, and the truck has the smallest haze on a 90* day. obviously i don't need 1000hp but having my back up truck my 6.4 at 1000hp or more and still being able to push snow and tow a trailer if needed would be sweet, actually driving it i'd bet i only use 300-400hp on a daily basis, i like for things to not break....especially when i am busy.

None of us need 1000 HP truck....but it sure would be nice to have one!!! LOL

Because you're not towing a trailer/pushing snow with 100%'s and 66/88 turbos and you're not making 1000hp with 60%s and 59/75

Not really that big of deal. Sept. 6th we have a dyno day that will have a different dyno than the Fly Performance one. We will see how the numbers pan out.

It'll go to the track before September 6th. See if I cant get it to shift the whole way down. I was told my 860 HP fuel run from last year wasn't possible on the drop in 71 but my track pass backed it up at 840 HP. I'm not too concerned. **** it still has another stage of spray to go.

Not calling you out but do you actually think you made 1400 on fuel?
