I didn't look at your info but from recollection of your set-up I dont think I would go overboard. I believe maybe RDevil or someone else used a stock GM truck coverter with 3.42's and was quite pleased. Also the price was very reasonable and no difference in everyday driving. If I have a few minutes I will try to find the link
