3.7xxxx ~ 3.9xxxx gear.
Less if you have enough power to push a lower gear.

1/8 mile nitrous drag radial car is a lot different than what Im used to, I would always gear for the rpm I wanted to see going across the line at a predicted mph. With your set up I wasnt thinking it would rpm too high through the traps rather it would'nt come though high enough.......I guess thats what the BIG jets are forsupernova wrote:It's a 7400 rpm nitrous motor I think it will be ok out the back at any rpm.sc racing wrote:So you dont care what rpm you go across the line as long as you can 60ft quicker than a 1.30?
With the 4.30 gear an the 1.80 in the trans, It's running out of 1st gear in about a 120 ft on nitrous way to soon for this tq motor if it gets traction.
On a DR tire I learning that you have to run the first half of the track as hard as you can with this type of set up and motor ou the bak
