i would say 3.73's or keep the gear you have and get a overdrive.i dont know what the name of the unit is called but they make a overdrive unit that bolts on to the back of your tranny.then you have the best of both worlds,low gear for the track and high gear for cruising

don't thing gear venders makes an add on od for a 4 speed manual...

I switched the to tremec to get the OD..it works well, however for your use i would agree to just simply changing to 4.10's or 3.73 will probably be your least costly option and get you into the ball park based on your needs.

do you know what type 4 speed you have?

from your other posts it sounds like it was set up to do the 1/8 mile..

A hell of nice looking car...

can you take a digital of the rear traction system and post it?

Good luck
