If you have 20" wheels, go with the 4.56.

Its real simple... DO THE MATH. But dont use the OVERDRIVE gear in your trans... You would use the 1:1 3rd Gear for the math in your case... You can figure out RPMs in EACH gear if you wanted.

__________________________________________________ __________________
1) Find your (OGR) Overall Gear Ratio:
TRANS GEAR x REAR GEAR
__________________________________________________ __________________
2) Find your RPM's @ any speed:
SPEED x OGR x 336 / TIRE HEIGHT = RPM
__________________________________________________ __________________

Use the formula to find out how high an RPM you will be running at the traps.

If you hitting 100MPH then just use that as your MPH, You will need to know your tire hight in order to find the answer.

100MPH x OGR x 336 / TIRE HEIGHT = RPM

Idealy you should be crossing the taps at your reline...

Let me know if you need assistance... Or let me know how tall your track tires are.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM
