What did a gear swap do for your mph?
It's going to be awhile till I get to the track. I just went from 373's to 411's. I've heard of effecting 1/4 mile times substantially, but never heard what happens to your mph at the track. Just curious.

How much does it help your 60ft times? I am curious because I am discusing the need for gear changes with taller then stock tires on lifted trucks. I am curious the gains seen with the same tire size because that would give a good indication of what is lost by going to a taller tire.
Thanks.
Thanks.

just like larry said. M6 car like you are a 4.30 to 4.56 is the gear you should run and it will help your 60 a ton as long as you have the tire to match it. And you will be trapping at the end of 4th so your mph should be at least 2mph more.
