- My credo
- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I would expect better performance from a stock 2.9l. 4.10 gears and 31" tires should be fine. I'm not sure how the auto transmission should affect it.
As comparison, I drive a 3.0l pushing 35" tires through 4.56 gears. I have a manual transmission and I can downshift at will. It's not a great comparison though. The 3.0 makes power at a much higher rpm. Still, I would expect your rig to outperform mine.
