Gearing ?

with a 3.55 gear you are not crossing the finish line "at an idle" in drive=more like 5000 at 105 mph. a quick quarter mile is about leaving the line hard-not happening with a 2.76 rear gear! I do not care about how radical you think your first gear ratio is. I have been 1/4 mile drag racing for decades-with 3.21, 4.10, 4.30, and 5.13 rear gears, and driving them on the street. with 2.45, and 2.66 and 3.09 first gears. and 1.0 and .7 high gears. I have driven to the strip 105 miles, ran 12.5, and back with 5.13 gears and 1.0 4th gear. run as much rear gear as possible, and use all 3 trans gears
