Rear End Gearing Recommendations for SuperCharger
Hello All,
I've bent a rear axle, since I will be installing a Powerdyne setup, I would like to replace my rear end from the stock 3.08 gearing (Imagine that!) at the same time. There's a place around the corner from my house called The Rear End Shop and I have a appt to talk with them about my setup (or potential setup). I was wondering if anyone could pass along any information on:
1. the best Gear set to use (or what you are using and your impression.) I'm thinking 3.89 to 4.11's 4.56's seem like too much. (No, I have not finished RPM Vs. MPH for the various configurations yet, but will tonight.)
2. Torque Converter Recommendations
3. Axel/ Axel Bearing changes?
4. do's, don'ts, and pitfalls
State Of The Truck info below
Know this is asking quite a bit.
Any input on any of these issues would be appreciated.
Thank you all!

Powerdyne (CoolCharger) Head. (No Warrenty CoolCharger Out of business, bought New In Box for $400 from neighbor, researching Bearing, Belt and Custom install via Me, my Mill, and my Lathe. {BTW: A Special THANK YOU to WLF and Chucks BP for all your great posts on Superchargersonline and F150online!})
Diassembled PD Head, found it wanting {Cover Mis-alignment- investigating bearing bore alignments, casting flash in volute( Will have to post pic's sometime)
All rotating H/W off to my balancer. He's a God (FAA certified and people send him work from alll over the world. Works with aircraft SC's} I have him balance any rotating Mass from my Land Rover, F-150 Truck, and 67 Mustang (351W w/427 Stroker kit)
Looking at possible Comp Cams, Crane, or Crower Cam install
K&N AF (Better than stock but ...)
1in TB Spacer
I've polished the intake Elbow, spacer, TB (Minimum amount), and MAF Housing. Smoothing all Transitions. I did read all the warning about the TB and was carefull.
