I would run 3:73's on a 26" tire, and 4:10's on a 28" From your few specs, I don't see you shifting any where north of 6300rpm tops. I run 4:10's with a c4, nos, and 28"s. I cross the traps @ 7200rpms.. :patriot: [/qb][/QUOTE]warhorse, so whats gonna happen when he goes out to the 1/4 mile and he has rpm left on the table which could be used up by going up to a higher gear such as 3.90? Having left over rpm is not ideal at all.Not trying to start shit with you, just want to see your views and hear what you got to say. [/qb][/QUOTE]You do see his specs right? I highly doubt it will make any real difference. What is 300rpms? To a car with his specs. Hell Going from 3:73 to 4:10's netted 500-600rpm for me. I doubt He is going to notice 300rpm. :patriot: Not to mention 99% of all 3:90's I have seen/heard whine. So again 300rpm + the whine isn't worth the 3:90's. Hell He should go 4:10's with a 28" tire. If that doesn't nett him enough rpm's he can drop to a 27" tire. [/qb][/QUOTE]First off thanks for all of ur guys' input.. My street tire is a 275 40 18 If and when I do go to the track I will run a 27x10 Warhorse ur the third i heard that 3.90s whine so I won't do those..thanks Both mrpsi and warhorse are very knowledgeable as I can see. Between both ur honest opinion please... [/qb][/QUOTE]if you skip the 3.90 do as what i recommend and what warhose suggested. Just tailor the correct matchign tire to maximize et. One of the biggest rookie mistakes i see people due is not put a set of low gears becuz traction will be lost but that is not the way you should go aboout it, i hear this all the time, go with this gear "becuz you wont have traction with 4.10 or 4.30 blah blah blah", if you dont have traction you dont fix the problem by detuning the gear or blaming it on the gear, what you do is get a better tire or work on the suspension. Or ill see some morons go straight from a 26" slick to a 28" slick to cure their tractoins problems, but they end up not going as fast becuz now their turning 28" vs 26" slick. When i say get a better tire i mean same diameter but just a overal better tire. Before some one says a 28" slick is better needs to not even begin to argue considering that their are guys that have low 9sec car on a 26et drag slick, sure they have badass suspension but that is the right way to do it. I will give you realworld experience on this, i was at sac raceway pit crewing for a buddys notchback 331 stroker, the guy was having traction issues, he was spinning halfway through 1st gear and was running 12.4 on 275/40/17 drag radials, so everyone and their mother told him to throw on a 28 slick and he will go way faster, and i just about laughed my ass of,i let him throw on his 28 slicks and he ended up going 12.15 and everything was all hip hip hooray, so i happened to lend him a set of 26" et drags from someone else and threw them on the car and said now go run your car, funny thing is he clicked of a 11.95 and everything else then shut the hell up and could believe it, you should of seen their faces priceless. In my opinion 28" should on been on 9sec car, high hp cars, or the new 5.0 considering their 1to1 being 5th which you dont want to shift it which is why all the fast guys are running 28 cuz they have no other option, just the way the car was fucked from the factory.
