I think that your revolution per minutes (RPMs) will stay the same

How will they stay the same if the car goes at least 8-10 MPH faster in the 1/4? For sure its going to be reving higher through the 1/4 then it is now N/A.

I don't think you can calculate it until you run it really since you don't know how fast you'll be going at the end of the 1/4 until you do it yourself (unless i'm reading the question wrong) if you're at 5300rpm's without spraying you shift at what, 6000 or so? You'll most likely have to shift to 5th if you spray 100 shot. That is if i am reading your question right..

My computer wont open that link but it did earlier and i am almost possitive its a calculator for seeing what rpm you would be at, at a certain speed, if you were to change gears in the car from 3.42's to like 4.10's you know? I think ppl misunderstood the question you had, but i'm almost possitive you'll have to shift into 5th if not you'll end up deep in the rpm's in 4th on bottle.

A 26" tire with 4.11 gear will hit 115 at 5700rpm in 4th. a 28" tire, w/ the 4.11 gears should hit 130 at 6200 in 4th! That's through a stock ratio m6.
