Thats the kicker...you can be fast all moter with 4:56s and run out of gear on the juice but to be fast on bottle youll be slower on motor..I would never build a car around the bottle..just a little hit with 4:56s and 28s youll be fine!

4.88's FTW If you are planning on spraying a 200-400 shot you may want the 4.30 or even a 4.10 with that much spray! but if you spray just a 125 or so the 4.56's will be fun. RPM @ 80 with 4.56's is about 2600 rpm
