I don't know what that thing weighs...but more gear maybe a 4.30-4.56 depending on how high you want to spin it and where it makes the power at. Just my opinion/ guess ...I've never ran a quarter mile ever. only eighth mile.

It doesn't matter how fast you go in the begining, i'm 71 yrs. old and have been racing for 55 yrs. with a few yrs. off. Just go have fun and make the changes as you get used too the car, the Xmas tree and the surroundings. Congrats on getting back into racing and enjoy the moment.
