I run a cheeta TB vb in my cuda with a 5.0 and 277 first gear. Was doing that weighing in at 3800 lbs. 129/131 60 fts a hundred passes or more on it and when tore down for inspection over the winters, parts are still good. My trans was set up for me this way, I went by what was built for me. I can't recomend what's better to use, only a testimony on what I have been using is all.
