Default Drag Racing gears
Anybody used some low gears with great success? I have 3:26 posi that I knew wouldn't do the job as I was just shifting into 4th at the end of the quarter. Maybe someone that has run a 4:56 or 4:11? I'd like to hit the end at about 5500 or slightly higher.
Thanks

I don't know. I was never able to put together a successful run. I'm easily well into the top of 4th. I trap a lot higher MPH than you though.
