for now It will be on spray, slowly built up to higher hp numbers.

its never gonna be a super high HP car But i want it to Hook and go and be a fun car to drive.

I need enough tire to hook but im also trying to have enough gear to help get the car going since its a low hp car.

Im torn on how to gear it because ill take it to Sunshine 99% of the time but once every 6 months or so ill take it to bradenton and it would be nice to have enough gear to run decent there but without hurting my 1/8mile time.

i chose 456s to get the best possible et on motor, its more impressive IMO

then when i want to spray it ill switch to a taller tire, and still have the optimal gearing for n20

i personally think 4:10 is to much for most cars... but your asking which ratio to run, but your not sure what tire size your going to run, or how much power the car will make. too many variables...

but aside from that unless its bascially stock i say 3.73

If your going to use a 26" tire I would go with 3.73, or if you are using a 28" tire then 4.10..... You rally need to decide on the tire size.....
