Whos is running a 4.30 gear? My 6-speed 99 ss has minor bolt-ons but i wanted to get a 12-bolt before my 10 left me pissed off. I went 13.30 at 108 and some change with my 10 bolt on street tires, and was wondering if a 4.30 gear would be good to use until i get a cam and heads and can turn more rpm. I care nothing about mpg either. I have a 26" tall DR too.
The moroso power speed calc says at 109 i will be crossing at 6050RPM, can anyone verify this for me. I would appriciate this, THANKS!

If you plan on never using n2o, or any FI, 4.30's with the proper cam will do awesome at the track, highway speeds will be similar to a auto with a higher gear ratio. If you find yourself running out of gear in the quarter you could step it up to 27" or even 28" tires.
