I hope you're not out of RPM by the end of the track with that much gear and that tire. Don't see you running nitrous and being able to mph that high with the combo

I think you should keep the 3.90 gear and get a 28" tall tire. The 4.56 gear seems to be a bit much for an auto. Seems likes you'll run out of rpm by the end of the track.

Whats you current Mph? Do you run 1/4 or 1/8th mile?
With 4.33 gears and 28" tire it'll be about 125mph @ 6500rpms and 129mph at 6700rpms, I'm not sure about the 4.56's

Sorry I havnt got the car back together to get it to the track yet. I figured 3.90 would be to steep for me and I don't spray very often. How much would a 150hp shot raise my mph?

My car with a 27" tall tire, 4.57 gears, and rev limiter set at 6700 I hit the rev limiter at probably the 1000' mark. I'm hoping that a 28" tire and going to 7000 on the rev limiter will remedy my problem.
