Depends on what kind of RPM's your engine will handle, what size tire you are running, street or track car, etc. Lot of info to take into account.

short tire so, if still what power adder if any. we had 5:13's but that was at 7600 no power adder and a 10 1/2 by 29 1/2 slicks and ran 11:30's. Converter and if any power adder will decide heavy what your going to do with the car as T/S said. maybe 4:56's?

are you just interested in quarter mile times? if not than stay with what you have. if so are you running a power adder? if you have a power adder a 26 inch slick is not enough unless you have a class that dictates it. more info would be helpful.
