28's seem too big for your gear. I think it will fall on it's face. My experience is only with the M6 though. Even still those tires and that gear are going to kill your hole shot and bring your RPMs through the traps way down. I would do the 28's with a 3.90 gear. That would be pretty ideal for your set-up.
nothin like that sidewall wrinkle off the line

That is too much tire for that gear and power level with M6. Sometimes with slicks you can go bigger since they wrincle, but those tires do not wrinkle much at all so you have a poor final ratio off the line and through the traps. You are better off with a 26" tire or a 4.30 gear with the 28s. I run the 4.56 with the 28s. That for my car is idea. But I usually drive on 26" tires so I may go down to a 4.30.

So if I have 4.10s, all bolt ons, TRex, 4000 and 5000 stall with TB and alot of weight reduction, you think the 28" 325/50 MT DRs will be too much tire? I plan on doing a 12 bolt soon, so when I do that do you think I should go with more gear for the 325s?
