question?

For all you guys running 383's what type of gear are you running and what times are you at in the quarter. Im running a 3.70 gear in my ford nine inch and the best i can get out of it is a 1.7 sixty foot. Any suggestions?

Motor size doesn't dictate what gear you run, tire size and RPM range does. Just gear your car to cross the traps right before you hit the rev limiter.

i agree, a well adjusted suspension setup will net you better 60' times, and 28" tires with 4:10s.
