3.90 Gear question
So I'm currently stuck in a dilemma. Can't Figure out either if I want to go with 3.73 gears or 3.90 gears. Leaning more towards the 3.90 gears though...
My question is, at 6k rpms. What speed are you guys at in 4th gear? I would like to cut down my 4th gear because its pretty long. But I dont want to it to be ending at like 115mph or anything like that. Because I dont want to have to spray in 5th gear. I know its kind of a vague question... (I do more roll racing that I do track :/ )

lots of calculators like this online, t56 ratios are 2.66, 1.78, 1.30, 1.00, .74, .50
I had 3.73's at one point and would probably go 3.90's next time

i like the 3.90s , felt a good difference from 3.42 and motive 3.90s are strong.
my diff had two failures and the ring and pinion acted as a grinder both times ,cleaned up the gears re installed with minor nicks and was still quiet
