Yuck, 2.73 sounds gross, power wise... what kind of mileage are you getting though?

I have 3.55, leveled w/ 2 inch of lift, 31's, and my 302 ain't exactly tip top right now. I'm getting somewhere from 11-14 right now, I believe. But, I'm a bit aggressive on the throttle, love the put-you-in-your-seat-at-55 it's got. The shorter you go, the more power you'll feel. The lower the mileage.
