632 gearing
i was wondering what gears most people run with a 632. i only run 1/8th mile, and currently have a 555, p/g, w/4.86 gears, 33 in tall tires. i shift at 7000 and go through the traps at 6600. since im putting in a 632 that will have about 200 more horsepower, i was wondering if gear selection was more about the car and length of track, or how much power you have. the car weighs 2760, 4 link, and have had 1.15 60 ft times. thanks for your input

IF THE ENGINE MAKES ENOUGH POWER TO GO 140 MPH THROUGH THE TRAPS IT WILL ONLY TURN 6934 RPM WITH THE 4.86 AND A 33IN TIRE(DOES NOT FIGURE TIRE SPIN),THE 4.86 WILL BE LESS APT TO SHAKE THE TIRES WITH THE SHORTER TIRE THAN SAY A 4.30 OR OR 4.11,MY PERSONAL OPINION IF THE ENGINE HAS A GOOD VALVE TRAIN,GOOD RODS AND CRANK,AND A PRETTY DECENT BLOCK,I WOULD LEAVE THE GEAR LIKE IT IS OR GO 4.56,I TURN MY 632 7800-7900 BUT IT GIVES VALVE TRAIN TROUBLE ONCE IN A WHILE
