H8CHEVY Gearhead Posts: 276 From: Southern Cali Registered: Jun 2000	posted 01-11-2002 09:31 PM I am using the 4 speed wide ratio toploader with some 26" tall slicks, on a 302. I was wondering what gear ratio you would run with this setup in the 1/4 mile.. dont wanna be bogging 4th gear thru the traps... Wont a 3.73 be around 5K in third gear thru the traps and a 4.11 around 6500??? thanks again. IP: Logged
