For a 1/4 mile pass, which would be better overall? would more str be preferrable or more efficency? If the answer to this is more in-depth than just a balnd answer, please elaborate.
In my opinion, I feel that str should be as high as possible while still being able to dead hook w/ the tires you have on. Keeping this in mind, I feel that the stall speed should be matched to the beginning of the powerband of the motor used. Then, depending on gear ratio, str and efficiency should be taken into consideration. For example, many of the drivers w/ 3.08's don't spin much off the line, while those w/ 3.23's or 3.42's spin more, and so on as you get taller gears. I think that less str and more efficiency should be used as you move up to taller overall gearing. conversely, I feel that more str and less efficiency should be used with shorter overall gearing.
