I wouldn't advise it unless you have a built motor that is made to turn a lot of rpm's and you would have to have a 28" tire. Good gears for the kit with a stock bottom end motor are 3:73s or 3:89's. Anything higher you will have to hit 5th gear on the kit. With a 26" tire.

I did not mean that he could not spray with 4.30 or 4.56, just would not advise it with stock bottom end w/ heads and cam.you would have to turn 7000+ thru traps. 4.10 w/ 26 in. tire should have you trapping around 6800 @ 126 in 4th with M6.

I have sprayed a 200 shot, stock bottom end, heads/cam (231/237 TSP cam), A3, 12-bolt with 4.30's. Rev limiter at 6700. Sprayed through shifts. No problems in over 2 years (until I stood it on the rear bumper and broke my great little stock engine). Best 60' was 1.34; best time 10.08 at 130+. I know 'next' had almost the same set up as mine and went into the 9's with it (same stock bottom end, etc, etc, 4.30, with a glide).

Can it be done yes. BUT we both were running 30" tires.

David (I have since changed my set-up a little)

That's the exact same setup mine had, minus your good heads, 30" Hoosiers and all though. Except mine never got the chance to get quite as fast as yours! Those combos worked real well for what they were.
