A Question About Gears
#5
For best ET the engine should all revved out in 3rd or 4th gear (depending on your final drive ratio) just as you cross the speed trap at the end of the run. A car geared for optimum strip results is usually a PIA on the highway, but with your two overdrive gears it may be tolerable.

you can get new gears from jegs. but it is not a simple job. is this car a DD? if so just get some 4:10s lik every six speed guy does. if it has a real purpose look up a gear calculator and put in all the needed info. lik said above you should go through the traps at the top of 4th. you'll need tire size and then enter the gears itll give u a mph at a certain rpm. for example. im using a 27" tire and a six speed im gonna spin it to 6800 i entered that info and 3.70 gears is wat i need to cross the traps at 140mph. its a bit much mph but wont be to far off.
