Default 4-link dragster rear gear ratio/tire size

Wondering what you guys out there are running for rear gear ratios and tire sizes. heres what i got:

250" 4 link dragster 1800 lbs
605 Ci BBC around 1050-1100 hp no bottle
1.80 glide
4.10
33.5x16.5x16 weld beadlocks/mickey thompson tire

I've been running low 4.80's 140-142 mph 1/8th mile. I've noticed mojority of guys run 34.5's. i swapped a set of hoosier 34.5's onto our car thinkin it may help. Well i ended fallin off to 4.88 to 4.90 range and 136-137 mph. The car feels as if its launching harder and it pulls the front end better with same 60 ft, but looses everything down track.
