What gears?

What gears would you guys run with a supercharged SCREW with 305-45-22 tires?

I think Anaheim Drew has the same tire size & a Powerworks blower, and he's going with 4.56 if I'm not mistaken. So he'll have the ultimate tire-smoking machine.

I'm sure he'll chime in...

I run 4.10s with my Procharger, 285-60R18.
I think ONELOWF makes a good suggestion, though.

Good talking with you yesterday....
I'm going with 4.56 USGEARS from Diffworks this week and I'm running 285/40/22 with a Powerworks/Magnacharger

What are you planning to do with the truck? Towing, racing, daily driver? If it's just a daily driver, you'll be fine with the stock gears, towing I would go with the 4:10s. I don't understand why people are so big on smoking the tires. It's not a good thing when you're towing or racing. The ultimate tire smoking machine, big deal. If you put a twin screw blower on your truck and
4:56 gears, that's exactly what you'll do, spin your tires while the other guy blows you away. I tow a large boat and I have a Procharger with 4:10s and it's perfect. Yes I can smoke'em, but I'd rather not since my tires cost about $200. each.

It will be a twin screw type and yes, a daily driver. I was thinking of 4.10's. thanks for the input!
