Default How much ET am I losing with my 4.30 gear?

My mods are Hooker LT's with ORY, TP4400, Moser 12-bolt with 4.30, 28x9x15 Hoosier drags

My best motor pass has been 12.30 @ 109 with a 1.62 60' and a raceweight of 3470.
Is the 4.30 gear with the 28's hurting my ET?

Thanks,
Jeffrey

Look at what RPM you are crossing the traps at. If you are within a couple hundred rpm's of your rev limiter then you are doing good.

I cross the traps at right about 6000, so it's almost optimal as far as RPM.
I was just wondering if I would run better with a 3.90 26" combo instead of 4.30 28"
I guess I'll leave it alone for now.
Thanks for the info.
