Default 1/8 mile 26" tire gear ???

i have just moved from south dallas to lewisville. I was thinking of taking the car to North Star one night but i am geared for the quarter right now. I am at the rev limiter at 6800 just past the quarter with a 4.33 gear. what would be an optimal gear for the 1/8 mile? this is not a street driven car so i would like to almost be on the limiter crossing the traps.

11.69 is your best time? I'm guessing a 4.56 might help.
