Default rpms threw traps with 4.10s??

you guys runnin quick with 4.10s, are you gettin close to getting out of 3rd? im just wondering considering you are trappin 120+. id think youd have to switch to 3.73s or so. or maybe im completely off. lemme know what ya think!

I have 4.10s, I crossing the stripe around 6700-6900rpm in 3rd. I am using a 275/40/17 drag radial and car is shifting at 7k.

Not sure how much slippage there is in an automatic but in a 6 speed I was able to go around 129 in 4th gear (1:1) at about 7,000 rpm using 26" tires. I have since changed to 28" tires as an alternative to changing gears since I couldn't stay in the throttle through the traps.
