Default what gear ratio for 1/8 mile

Suggestoins please 9" rear
car weighs 3200lbs 496 bbc cam operating range is to 7500rpm TH400
Was running 4.88s on 28" tire trapping 98 mph at about 6-6300 rpm
recently tubbed car and running a 33"tire now would like to keep revs under 7000 since I'm just bracket racing Would 5.83s be too much?
My math brought me to a 5.5-6.0 gear.Just sounds like alot to me
