How much will it slow down with a 4:88 gear? When the tracks are marginal or hot its not as consistent. Has 14.5-32 slicks THANKS!

You might play around with the spreadsheets on Pages 2 and 3 of my site. Adjust the horsepower until you get the right calculated mph and then play with the gearing. The calculated ET's are for comparison purposes only.

Ok Thanks for all the help guys! :D
