What rear wheels/tires combo did you have on the car when you ran the above pass?
Thanks! I'm running a set of the 305/35/20 MT drag radials.

How do you like the 4.57 gears? I bet they are AWESOME driving around. I have stock gears but my 26" tires makes it seem like I have 3.82 gears. If I ever go with a built rear I would rock some 4.11s but my 26" tall tires would make them feel like 4.55s.
Well, the 6100 was an approximate guess (may have been higher). The factory tach is not the easiest thing to read. I have to admit I was a little worried I may run out of rpm at the big end, but it never hit the limiter.
These gears make the car a totally different animal....I love em!
