Yeah rpms are a little higher on the freeway but torque wise i think this was the best bang for the buck. Thanks for all your help gentleman.
Hey Ryan considered doing this myself. Where are your RPM's normally sitting around highway speeds?

How do you figure that?

If you're talking about towing capacity my 5.4 with only 3.73's tows just shy of 7k.

The factory setup with a Gotts mod is pretty hard to beat. The factory snorkel is way too small though.
