Default Gears and ET

I ran my best pass the other day of 11.38@122 but had to spin my little 383 LT1 up to 7100 rpms to do it, I was wondering if you guys thought I would slow down if I went to a 4.10 rear gear. Right now I have 4.56 with a 27 inch hoosier quick time pro and a its a 6 speed.

I say go with a 4.30 It will drop the rpms a little. Thats what im going to use. 4.56 - 4.10 is a big jump. Thats like going from 4.10-3.73 both are about a .4- difference.

I had originally planned on 4.30s then I thought if I ran nitrous then I had wished I went with the 4.10. I might never make up my mind.
