see sig
and thats on a 26 inch tires with 3 73. if you go to 4 30's or 4 10's you will run well out of rpm unless you want to use 5th or go to a 27 or 28 inch tire. I hope you like changing clutches. I should put quick connects on mine.

Re: m6+150-shot+slicks+bolt-ons WHAT GEARS SHOULD I RUN???
What size tires and what's the redline? Without that you can't really come up with the correct gear ratio. There's a good chance you will be shifting to 5th with the 4.30s'.
Re: m6+150-shot+slicks+bolt-ons WHAT GEARS SHOULD I RUN???
hey terry, vince with 4:10's is right at the rev limit in 3rd on the 1/8, and right at rev limit in 4th in the 1/4, that is with 13.3 1/4 and i think mid 8.xx 1/8. seems he is around 105 or 108 mph but dont quote me on the speed. with an extra 150hp i would think you may have a problem running out of gear at the end on the 1/4, you would also be in 4th in the 1/8 mile. seems he was in the low 80 mph range in the 1/8.
hey we could do your sub frames tonight if your off.

I think i would run a 3.42 gear. It is much stronger(were talkin 10 bolts right?) and will allow traction. It will be kind of hard to get any traction at all with 4.10s and n20.

Run 4:56's. If you run out of RPM... shift. There is nothing wrong with going into 5th in the 1/4. I had 3:73's and 4:56's (still have both) and I likes 3:73's on the highway, the car "feels" better, but I had a higher top speed with 4:56's they just made the car feel flat after about 100. Remember gears are cheap. If you can't stand a gear set spend $200 and buy another set. Having 2-3 sets of gears is cool, and after you get each one set up it only takes about 30 min to change ratios (12 bolt).
Re: m6+150-shot+slicks+bolt-ons WHAT GEARS SHOULD I RUN???
there is no problem with going to 5th just like a 3rd gear shift. But it is very hard on a clutch going into OD even at 120+ mph. I am for the track but on the street there is no quarter mile and each person sees the finish at a different spot.

Re: m6+150-shot+slicks+bolt-ons WHAT GEARS SHOULD I RUN???
i had the exact same mods.... 6 speed bolts ons, 150 shot and i had 4.10 gears and with a 27 inch tall tire it was perfect...... i was goin 11.8 at 118 in full weight.....im not sure if they make the 27 anymore but i may be able to get away with a 4.30 and a 28 inch tire if u rev alittle higher
