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

It's a 7400 rpm nitrous motor I think it will be ok out the back at any rpm.
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
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 for :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

All part of the secret sauce to getting a small tire to work with plenty of power. Gear, converter setup, chassis, power management all has to work together

David lives down the street from my. I did give him a call. He even said change the gear.
Oh, he also said to change the shock. My motor makes too much power for the Rancho RS 9000's

So a gear change and shocks it is.
