Which rear end gears for TH400
What do all the "DRAG ONLY" cars use for their rear end gear ratios?
My car is a Big shot nitrous car that will be spun to approx. 7k rpms.
Preferrably like to the tires I already have (28") would I need to change that also.
Gears in the 9" are 4.30's

i'd leave the gears alone. unless you plan on trapping over 135mph. if so you could go to a 29" tire which would let you hit 140 with your 7k ceiling. go to http://www.speedworldmotorplex.com/calc.htm
to try out different tire heights and gear ratios till you see what you want.

Thats a good question that I dont know the answer to. I have no idea what my car will mph in the 1/4. I would hope to think that it would mph 135 no problem. Looking 2 make near 800rwhp on the bottle.
I would like to leave the 4.30's in there since they are already set up.

with that you should only see 650-700 at the wheels. is your 350 estimation based at 350whp of nitrous or just a 350 shot? also should and will are two different things. good luck but i would leave the gears alone till you find out what you're crossing the traps at.
