Default 3.73's or keep my 4.11 gears with a tnt kit?

i have a head and camed(g5x2)car. i have 4.11's and i have 26" tires,i was told by tnt my car would go faster if i went to 3.73's for the nos use. i dont want to mod my fenders for a 28in tall tire, i don't want to mess it up.i dont think the 3.73's will put me in the power band crossing the traps on the motor and i'll loose my 60 foot times(i think). i want to spray a 150shot. what do i need to do?? THANKS, mike c.

I would go 3.73's. 4.11's will probable run out of gear with a 26" tire.

I would assume you are traping in the 116+ range now N/A. There is no way you will be able to use all of 4th gear (m6 I assume) if you spray a 150 shot. With a 6600 redline you are only able to go ~124-126mph with 4.11's. You will def. need to go to a 3.73 gear.

Exp. If you trap 116mph N/A and the 150 gives you a conservative 8mph, that is 126mph. Not going to work IMO. I am in the same boat. I need to swap out my 4.11's for 3.73's.
