Question Help me out on selection...

Check mods in sig. It's a full Bolt-on H/C/I car, with a nitrious kit on the way. Honestly i'm kinda sick of the 456's in my 12-bolt, and i don't think they are going to allow me to trap at the top of 4th. I want to stay out of 5th and be near 6k when finishing the 1/4. that may be asking to specific a question to give an answer, but i would like to know. I'll be running a 28 tall tire as well w/ a 150-175 shot of sauce... Ideas? I'm thinking n/a at my altitude the car should gor mid low 12's and on the sauce i am PRAYING for mid low 11's. The poll is for ease, but i would appreciate comments.
Thanks,
Chris

You should be in the 11's without the spray. What is your redline at? You should be able to calculate what gears you need pretty easily with that.

3.90 seem to be a sweet spot for M6 cars...

6,500 is my redline... i dunno yet. I just want to stay out of 5th. 373's seem to be the safe route, and 390's are what i would probably prefer, but i honestly don't know what would be the correct gear. just wanted some opinions so i feel more "confident" in a purchase
