I was just curious what everyone thought about what gear i should chose for my setup. I currently have a bolt on ls1 that runs 7.6 on motor at 91mph. On spray my best pass so far is 7.23 at 102. I am still running the factory 2.73 gears and wanted to know what gears you guys thought would benefit me best and what gains i might expect to see. all times are at 1/8th mile track off course.

actually my best pass was a 7.22 but my mph was a little off for some reason. Let me know what you guys think.

I'd go with a set of 3.73 gears, they will really wake it up for you. Bob

def 373's or 343s both are great gears and will pick up your 60' what rpm and what gear are you in at the stripe?

to be honest i haven't i haven't paid attention.

ok well theoretically what is best for a bracket car is go thru the stripe at what you shift at in high gear or 3rd for OD transmissions.. some people shift crazy like 7 grand so u def dont want to go lower that 4 grand and say u are at 2 grand now one way to raise that number is to get gears like 373s or 342s or w.e or get a stall which i see you have so if u wanna get all the use out of your engine give her high rpms is my opinion

3.42 or 3.73, 3.73 is a little high on the highway with the automatic for me
