Default Can't decide on gears 404 hci +spray

I can't decide on rear gears. I expect to trap shy of 130 n/a. I did it with spray on stock engine and 3.42s it was the end of 4th.

If I spray tho, this can throw me into 5th which I hear is bad.
Prob will only use up to 150 shot.

If I go to a 373 or 410, wouldn't that force me to use 5th n/a? And be counter productive?

yea you do not want to be shifting into an O/D gear at all.. I am in the same boat as you right now trying to decide on gears with my decision to spray nitrous now. What size tires are you going to be running? Vehicle weight with you in it?

Little under stock weight, probably stock tire size 275/40/17, will hopefully get some slicks eventually but this is what i have for now.
