I am trying to pick a gear for dragracing my 98 Camaro A4 I would like some opinions on which gear to use. The car is not driven on the street at all I race 1-8th mile only. which gear would be faster with these mods 3.73 or 4.11 and if you had to guess what do you think it might run with either one in the 8th mile. gas milage is not an issue

Those ET streets are going to be the limiting factor for gear choice. Are you able to run a 26x10 ET drag? Are you running a DOT tire limited class?

If you can run a proper slick (26x10) I would consider a 4.88 gear if you aren't revving the ***** out of it
