Need opinions on gear change.

Weel I am not going to sell the TR it works GREAT! Also yes I am shifting at 6800 rpm and hit 4th just before I went through the beams. I am sure it will go 7K or more just haven't pushed it that far on purpose. I may have to to get through the 1/4 though. I have a 25.4" tall tire with 4:56. My original thought was can I get away with the TR and a 3:91 gear with the 25.4" tall tires or down the road a 27" or 28" tall tire. I will have to center my rearend before a 275 will fit. It's close on one side with a 245 now. Since I don't go to the track that often I would like to have a street/strip tire on all the time. It's only driven a couple times a week at most. Plus a reg. radial would be somewhat scary since the sticky mickeys will break loose with not much effort on the street. And finally Yes I know about this hobby not being cheap (been into it since 1975)

Thing is even with the 27" or 28" tire it still will be winding going to the next town, just not as bad as now. I may just have to save up for the rims/tires/springs and go from there. Bummer is after we go racing next month, it will probably be the end of the mickeys now on back (burnouts) and the car will have to sit until the funds come available.
