T56... Need help with gearing and tires. Right now I run a 4.10 with 26 tire M6 and I trap in the 122 range without a ram air (have a CHRS1313 now) and at 3000 plus feet da. My 60fts now suck. 1.71 is my best with a 26x 10.5x16 et street bias ply. I plan on adding skinnys and drag wheels and getting some new slicks so anything is a possibility as far as tire size. What would be my best bet for gearing and tire size. I'm scared to go straight off of math because I don't know how much the da is effecting me and I do plan to run at better tracks and I'm unsure on how much my ram air will get me. I also drive it on the street with a 315-35-17. What do you guys think would be my best option for gears and tires or do I need to get more of a baseline of where I stand now first?

I ran 4:56's with a 28 x 10.5 et drag.
I trapped around 127 give or take a little bit.
That was at a DA that probably averaged at 1200 ft.
My rev limiter was at 7200 and I was right there when I crossed through the traps.
Good Luck.
