Using only 1st & 2nd in the 1/4

Using a 28" tire. What if I used a 3.07 gear and went through the traps in 2nd gear? It works out about the same as using 4.56 gears and going through in 3rd. Just trying to see if I can keep my streetcar daily driver friendly.

less wear and tear,lower rpms = longer life.the taller slick will grow and help with top end gear ratio.you probably will use 3rd gear.

You won't be setting down any full potential times as you won't be taking full advantage of your set up.

You could do that if you wanted
