4 low, put in 3rd and let her rip!;)

IIRC, I don't think 4 hi locks the converter either.

Run the low side when i pulled with my dodge i pulled on the high side but i also had a 5 speed and ran 4 High started off in first and shifted to second. And right before the end i would hit 3rd

there are guys that have and do run high range, i say to each there own. you have more options in low. however, you converter will lock up once out of 1st. if you have a stock turbo, 4 low 3rd gear

You might want to hold the truck in 2nd gear till about 3800 rpms then manually shift into 3rd. I've had good luck doing this in the past.

With your mods you might be able to pull 4th in Lo range if you get it rolling early. I know you could pull 4th with your tire combo on our tracks here. Don't play at the start. Give it hell early. :D
