Default What Gear Do You Recommend?

Currently I'm running a Moser 12-Bolt with 4.11's and a 4L60 with a 4000 converter and 28" tires out back. The car was originally set up for motor but now I'm spraying. I ran the car on the 17th on a 100 shot and trapped 125 mph. Unfortunately I ran out of gear about 2 seconds before the finish line with the tach stuck at about 6600. What gear ratio do you all recommend? I plan to go up to a 150 shot on a TNT system.

That's what I'm planning on doing. I just wasn't sure if the 373's will be too big for the 150.

That chart does not take converter slip into the equation.
