Sounds like a good plan, but after driving this car a bit, I feel like it's over geared for our purpose.

I have the 4.30 but even 4.10 is a pretty steep gear for a 3000 pound car, with a 600hp engine with gobs of low end torque, that only spins to 6000+-rpm on a 25-26" tall tire.

Pretty sure we are going to need to be in the 3.55-3.73 range...maybe even a little taller...

What do you think Dustin?
