gear selection advice Hi Guys, I am new here. I am here NOT because I am an LS owner but because some of you are really going fast and have alot of good advice to offer. So here goes..
My combo this coming season should produce 1200+ plus at the motor, BBC with F2 procharger, 2500hp Air to Water intercooler. I ran 9s last year and want to push it into the 8s this year. Car is a 3600lb street legal nova, glide w/brake, 35 spline 9", 30X9 tire. I ran 4.11 last year and am looking at 3.70, 3.50, or 3.25 for this year.. max rpm is 6600, Your suggestions? Anyone with similiar combo/horsepower?
thanx Patrick

3.25 sounds good to help get all that power to the ground with a 9" tire if you drive the car on the street at all.
You will have gobs of torque with that setup for sure!

With that kind of HP, you should be able to push a very high gear. 4:11 is way to low IMO. 3:25 sounds better to me. What is your max rpm threw the lights now? I bet your max out before you get there.
