Default gear, tire, trans combination ?'s

ok... As of now my car sits w/ stock 6speed, spec 3+, 3:91 12bolt, 28in et street radial... rear is in need of a rebuild so im putting 4:11's in while i have it apart.. my question is... will i have enough gear to run the 1/4mi. if i go with a 3speed down the road? then the combo would sit th350/400, 4:11, 28in tire... motor is completely stock aside from 224/224 563/563 114, spring and push rods, lt's, tune, 150shot

im shifting somewhere around 6300rpms and dont want to have to rev any higher than that if i can keep from it

any and all opinion and knowledge welcome...

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Should be fine.

I've run NA and sprayed 150 shot with 4.10's, A3, and 28's shifting at 7000. On motor I was only going thru the traps at like 6300.
