4.10 gear. Its was the first time out we had 37 nozzles in the terminator and a 85 pill. The car was making heat even on the return road. I think we were a little lean. I have a 535ci with 4 1/2 stroke crank and the converter stalls 6200, may be some of the good 60ft. We're going to richen a little and move the timing up to 37-38 from 34. I'm expecting to go a little quicker. The dragster came with 34.5x17x16 slicks a 110" rollout. I ordered a set of Hoosier 33.5x17x16 with a 106" rollout. The altitude density was 5400ft with a 20mph crosswind. I'll get to see if any of these changes will help in a week or so.

We run a 4.30 gear in our 4-link Mullis. We run gasoline and have a 1.07 60' and run 4.70's. We had the 34.5's on our car and they would shake it to pieces. We went to the 33.5-17-16 Hoosiers and they are a lot better.
