    If you want to figure out the optimum gear ratio for drag racing, you want to pick the gears that will let you use all of your powerband in the gear that you cross the finish in. For example, if you cross the line in 3rd gear, you want to be just about at the redline as you cross the line.

    Here are some formulas to help determine the best gear for your specific car, since everyone's car is different:

    *edit* - For those that don't know - the standerd tire on your car is approx 26" tall.

        It's different in each gear. The ratio changes with the gear.

          Well, the guy that I bought the LSD from checked the gears and said they had been beat up, so he threw in some 3.73's at no extra cost for me, WOOOOOOOOOT!
