Rule of thumb in my area has been a 4.10 for a 28" tall and a 4.30 for a 29" or 30" tall tire. If you are using NOS then drop it down to the next ratio.
I ran a 4.30 and a 29" tall goodyear last year on 225 shot, and this year a 4.10 on the same tire with a 2 stage NOS system and hoping for 8's this summer.
