Default What gears 9" 6spd
Just ordered a 9" and trying to figure out what gear is working best for guys in a 6spd car in the 1/8 mile on a 275/60 tire.....

I told him 4.11's but Im thinking 4.30's may be better....

Any suggestions!

Horsepower, weight and rpm through traps need to be factored in. Bob

If Bob did not say it, I would have, and in the end 4.56's would be a hot set up, but on a Bias Ply. That if the car was N/A as well.

Unless are prepping pimp juice down the entire 1/8th mile, your going to start seeing traction issues. BUT let use see what happens after the first run.
