Default Do I switch to 4.10s and 28s
Still debating if I should swap out my 3.90s/26" for a set of 4.10s and 28s. Not too concerned with anything except if it will help ET and MPH. Anyone have a link or page that talks about the difference?
Phil

I think he means 26". What are your 60's like Phil?

Combo is working great Phil, how about just trying a set of 27's for now?

The setup is working decent. I'm always looking for ways to cut the ET, the best 60' to date is 1.51 on this motor, and 1.40 on nitrous/old motor.

for 28's everyone I know goes to 4.30's . You need to try to figure out what gear will give you the most rpm with out over reving in the 1/4.

Maybe a 4.10 and 27" is the ticket...

Im going 27 with 410s and an a4. I used the richmond gear calculator and came up with that combo would keep me in my power band down the track and not run out of gear.
