Haven't read every word so sorry if I missed it.
Wouldn't the 90 v6 truck have a 4.11 rear end? He might of mentioned it too, I might have missed it, but if its a 4.11, should be pretty well matched? What tires are being run? I'm on my phone at the moment, but funola posted over in my astro thread a great gearing calculator vs rpm. Ill link it over later when I'm at a computer, very useful for nailing down just what works perfect for rpm vs gear for best power.

For power loss though id be checking the fuel filter, adjusting the valves, ect. Clogged stock fuel filter could cause major bogging.
