Needs way less numerically. The taller gears help with lag as well as giving the evil its to stretch the cars speed for the track.

Most use a 3.08 to 3.23 that I see. I'll be tanking my 3.73 rear for a 3.23 rear when my turbo setup comes together.

4.11 is more of an all motor/Nitrous gears. For turbos you do want a lower numeric number gear. You'll have to decide how tall of a tire you are running but 3.23-3.73 will be in the range you want.
