I had a 69 Camaro with a 496BB running 4:11 gears in the quarter. I changed to 3:73 gears to reduce the top end revs. It still launched fine. The nitrous and cubes overcame any losses and it did a lot better at the top end of the track, staying in its power range. (I still got sick of that motor and chucked a 572ci in there eventually). It was about 3000lbs and had 28.5 x 14 x 15 tyres.
My Nova has 4:10 gears. Most quarter mile cars are running 4:30's but they are heavier blower cars. Mines 2450 lbs and has around 1100 lbs of torque so its like the Camaro, still launches hard out and kicks arse at the top end too.
I agree totally with BJuice about his gearing.
CPEX111 I think you're blowing the tyres off it because of that gearing and thats also why its revving the shit out of it. Your power range is probably peaking out around 7600 or less so you're probably better off getting those revs down. Save you money on parts too!
