250 ft-lbs.

The gearing is VERY low. It will make 3.73's feel like 5.56's!

It'll hold, but don't beat on it and don't do much to your motor. Might need a different pilot bearing, I'm not sure. And like Mike said, first is insanely steep and overdrive is a bit less so than the 5.0 tranny.

my rear end is stock 2.73 so that means i probably wont touch it then... or maybe just jump up a little since the tranny is so steep, but yeah i wont do much more than what i said to the engine....maybe intake... thats about it....plus the mods i have now
