If so, what size tire are you using? Just seeing if a 4.10 may not get me through the traps on nitrous no matter what tire I bump up to. Also, if you are running this gear on nitrous, how well does it do N/A? Thanks.

horrid idea unless you plan on being slow or runing an obnoxious sized tire. even a 4.10 geared 28" tire will easily run out of gear on the bottle. what mph do you plan on crossing the traps at? if it is over 128 mph forget it.

N/A it is a good combo if you need it. i run a 28x9 et drag and cross the traps well below my rev limitor but i only trap 117 mph or so. autos really dont gain that much with a big gear when matched with a fat 4000 rpm convertor.

I run 4.30 gears and a 30" Hoosier. Good combo on the gas but a little too much tire on the motor.
