Obviously I didn't do my homework on the TC. This Hughes 2500 seems a little loose on the street but that could be a symptom of the tall tires as well. Options looked limited on a builder for the converter who could include lockup.
The 3.55 gears are what I had in the car before the A500 and 5.9. The car originally had 2.76s.
There are truck scales here at work and I'll use them as soon as possible just for the information.
As far as compression, with the RHS X heads the compression was estimated at 9.5 by Hughes Engines. The KB pistons were 0.017" above deck when put together.
Don't blame Hughes for the cam, my request was for a bottom end "torquey" cam.
