You could go with 4.56 with what is in your signature, as long as you have your rev limiter raised. Bob

Check the gear calculator, you should be fine N/A. But be aware, you will need some suspension mods, my car with 4.10's and a the Smallest ET slick out there slams that rear HARD and See-Saw.

Check my post and see the vid.

For the price of gears, its not that much, do the gear calculations before committing....
