My 96 EFI has a 3.55 in it and it gets about 17 on the highway...if your gonna run a carb that will lower the mileage a little but then agin if you dont care about mileage a 3.90 gear would be hella fuin. Best I got my truck to run was a 10.58 with K&N and pullies, custom exhaust through manifolds and on street tires. Just a little more to help ya with your decisions

Was that 10.58 in the 1/8 or the 1/4? I dont plan on it being my daily driver. I am going to buy a beater like a crv or something cheap on gas. I already have traction bars and a full aftermarket suspension on the truck. It has a DJM 3" 5" drop on it lowering springs in the front with a camber kit, and a flip kit for the rear. I can turn better in that truck that my friend can in his tricked out crx. I just need the power.
