I voted for 4.30's but you need to figure out what size tire your going to run and if your going to run nos or not. For a all engine car without nitrous I would say a 4.56 with a 28" tire. With spray I would say 4.30's with a 28" tire.Forget about the 4.10's

with a 26 inch tire, and potential nos use, I'd put 4.10's in the car. 4.30 or 4.56 with a 26 inch tire, you're gonna be spinning that motor to the moon with that small tire and any more then a 4.10 gear.

If anything, I'd rethink the tire size... go with the BIGGEST tire your car will fit/rules allow for your racing plans... bigger tire = more traction. Unless you're trying to go for an SI record or something, where the bigger tire's drag will hurt, which by your cam thread, is not the case.

ill get bigger size tires down the road, cant afford everthing at one time.tryng to get driveline in order for more power.latter on some 325/50/15s takes money to stuff that tire right.so far looks like 4:10s.
