Default best speed for roll race with 4.10s????

I have tried a search and no luck, and not sure if this is the right section but some guy is wanting to run me and he wants 45 roll, because he says its his sweet spot. And asked what I want.


So whats the sweet spot for my car, I never can tell, its full bolt ons, 224 cam, and 4.10s. Is there a sweet spot (by this I mean best place to go for a roll race)??

About the same for you. 4300rpm in 2nd with 4.10s should put you right in your powerband. Should be straight, as long as you don't spin.

1st gear = 20-30

2nd gear = 40-50

3rd = 60-70

Anything much over 20 in 1st is kinda high, can be tricky to hook.
If he wants a 2nd gear roll 40-50 will be good for you.
Better yet....do a DIG.

A 40 roll should be pretty good for you. Depending on what you are planning on racing.

Traction shouldnt be too much of an issue seeing your mods. Good luck.

A 40 roll is perfect. If you do a 50, be ready to grab third because second gear doesn't last much past 60 mph.

I always liked a 2nd gear 40 roll with my 4.10s and heads/cam. 45 will be ok too.

Why would you roll race? I would do anything that is about 3000 rpms it works great for my friend who is a big "roll racer"
