I had a friend who drove a 283/4sp on the street with 5.13s
I first put my Tina together with 5.38s, (and 14x32 tires) and it was too much, even for 1/8 mile. (Small block). It was quicker and faster after I put in 4.57s
(I kinda assumed it was a very small cube modified production class car, to run east coast 1/8 mile. )
Almost everything on the west coast was 1/4 mile stuff. Would need LOTS of rpm to make that gear work in a quarter!
