Gear the car for the rpm you want to turn at the finish line. Be careful, you will need at least 4.10s to get the car out without slipping the clutch. Especially with those tall tires. I would try 4.30s. High gears like 3.70s cause much abuse to the clutch off the line. If you want the car to leave really well, devide 13.5 by your 1rst gear ratio and that will get you in the ball park. Remember, if you bog the car, you will break parts.

Thanx for all the input!!!
The reason i said 6200 RPM limit, is my car is a NO2 car and it starts losing power around 6200 but my limiter is set to 7200 so i can rev higher if needed.

If you can rev it on out to 7kish then without a doubt go with 4.30s with your 6 speed and those 28 inch tires. With 3.70s it would be a TURD!
BTW, you do have at least some better valve springs right? Spinning to 7k plus on the stock valve train is asking for trouble! (valve float)

I don't look at the tach, and honestly, it doesnt keep up anyhow. My shift light is set to 6700 and it's not on when I cross the line. I trap 122 on motor. The gear calculator says I should be around 6500-6600. I'm going with 4.30s in my new rear that I hope to have for this upcoming season.
