Stalling the car to 2500 and using a 3500 stall window switch set at 3000 and kicking off at 6600 shift points at 6700. You think I would be better off with 373

If your going to spray the car then i would drop the gear down to 3.89 or 3.73s with a 26 inch tall tire. With a 4.11 you can run a 28 inch tire and it would be about the same.
I run a 370 also but i have yet to spray it. Mine will be 3.70s with a M/T DR 275/50/15. You might consider that option because if you can get the DR to hook as good as a full slick (i have) then you will run alot quicker with them.
1.45 60ft. NA and i think i can nail some 1.30s on the bottle with the same setup.

Did not log the tune this go around but when I hit the 1000 ft mark I was at 6000 rpm and was maxed out between the 1000ft mark and the 1/4 mile. track prep sucked too. I went back sat night with 275 60 15 drag radials still had a hard time hooking up off the line but 2nd was fine and hooked but once again still ran out of gear just pass the 1000ft mark. shifting out at 6600 rpm. So if I went to a 373 do you think I could still keep the 28s

So I was running a stock 10 bolt with 342 gears running a 10.36 crossing the line at 6400 rpms with a 26 inch tall 10.5x15 so if I run a 28 inch tall tire what gear do you guys recommend

I project that when i do spray mine in a few months i should be knocking on the 7K rpms at the traps with my 3.70/26" drag radial setup but if it goes higher i will throw the 28" DR's back on.
