what kind of gear are you guys running with a 26" tire? is a 4.10 to 4.56 gear too much for a 26" tire with the 4l60e n/a? will i run out of rpm at the end of the track?

I would say yes, the 4l60e has a low 1st gear ratio heck 4.10 would be the limit i would consider!According to the stall size 3:73 is usually the most prefered run gear!What other mods do yo have or power adders all this would need factored in to really know?

bone stock motor.eventually i'm going to put a 3500-4k stall and hit it with some giggle juice.i wonder if i put a 28" tire on if it will drop the rpm enough to finish the 1/4 mile? the reason i ask is i can get a phenominal deal on a rear end right now but it has 4.30 gears in it

Yeah I would consider some 3:73 then!Anything over is just alittle to much!With 3:73 ya really close to top of 3rd in the 1/4 give or take alittle for the power!Ive swaped peoples gears that had super lowgears and they wasn't real happy!It was to much gear for them ya have to have a heck of a tire to run! Ya would have to run 28 for a 4:56 or 4:30 gear!Ya still have gear ratios in your tranny so ya have to take that in to effect!If its a whole rear say a 12 bolt or 9 in might be good if its a killer deal ya can always change gears!Then that way ya already got the bigger rear!Hey got to think of it both ways hu!
