Default 4.56 gear and 28inch tire
Any one have any experience with this? I think I am going to keep my rev limiter at 6000 and am wondering what gear to go with. this is a 6 speed car with a 9inch rear.

No experience with the 4.56 gears but I am curious as to what is your desired MPH with this setup would be....N/A or Nitrous ??

Yeah, I know I was wondering with that 6000rpm if the OP was asking about the 4.56's for street use or track.

would work well im guessing if you just bump your rev limiter in 4th to say 6400.

I think 4.56 is way too much gear. I'd say go with a 4.11 gear.
