Default Best gear for nitrous

I order my mwc fab 9 and
need to know what gear size I should get I'm thinking 373 or 410... The car has a th400 with a 200 shot direct port on a wot switch and a 28" tire ... What gear would work out best for 1/4

How fast (mph) are you thinking it'll trap? How high do you want to spin the motor? Any plans for a bigger shot down the road?

Not shure on the mph... 200 shot is prob max it's still a stock bottom end ... After it takes a **** I'm going to Do a turbo set
up so I think the gear will be changed out at that time ... I just want the
best gear for my set up in the 1/4 as the car sits not but don't want to over rev it at the
end or run out of gear

With the 28" tire and using the 200 hit right off the gate, leave the 3.73 and shift a lil short.
