I have the vs.1 MagicStic and TSP highly recomended the 4400 to get the most out of the cam. I still have stock gears right now but when I get a 12 bolt I'll be going with 3.73 gears.

If i was you, i would go with a 4400 with 3.42s. I think that would do you good.

I'm running a TCI 4400 and 3.23s with my MS3. Great combination and I daily drive my setup. Give us a call on the converter. TCI makes great converters and their price isn't bad either.

It's not really worth my time or money to go from a 3.23 to 3.42 gear. For me the gains at the track would not be worth it. My times are not stellar just because of the atlitude but last summer(August), I ran 12.3 at 110 spinning to a 1.75 60' with the DA ~6000ft above sea level. I was on ET Streets, ~3560lb car, and stock suspension.

I long for the days that our DA drops that low in Albuquerque.
