gear selection advice
Hi Guys, I am new here. I am here NOT because I am an LS owner but because some of you are really going fast and have alot of good advice to offer. So here goes..
My combo this coming season should produce 1200+ plus at the motor, BBC with F2 procharger, 2500hp Air to Water intercooler. I ran 9s last year and want to push it into the 8s this year. Car is a 3600lb street legal nova, glide w/brake, 35 spline 9", 30X9 tire. I ran 4.11 last year and am looking at 3.70, 3.50, or 3.25 for this year.. max rpm is 6600, Your suggestions? Anyone with similiar combo/horsepower?
thanx Patrick

With that kind of HP, you should be able to push a very high gear. 4:11 is way to low IMO. 3:25 sounds better to me. What is your max rpm threw the lights now? I bet your max out before you get there.
