Rear end gear inputs
Guy I was running a 6spd with 28" tall tire and 4.56 gear.... Swapping over to a turbo 400 and wondering if I may need to re gear the car....
All Im really concerned about is running the best 1/8 mile time I can get, I do occasionally street drive the car....
Car basic details...
370 with F1 Blower, makes roughly 800whp
Thanks alot for inputs

I mean technically you shouldn't trap over 125 in the 1/8th, so you should be ok with 4.56's by the numbers, but when it comes down to it, I think it would be next to impossible to actually plant the tire in 1st gear with that much gear. I think in actuality, the car would probably be faster with a 3.25-3.50 gear.
