Re: Best gear ratio for street strip

If your engine, not just the cam, makes maximum hp at 6000-6500, figure that is where you would like to hit the lights at. All things being equal that is about 15% higher rpms than you are now turning, so add 15% or so to your final gear ratio, about 3.90-4.10 gears, lots of other variables are involved in this decision.
