Best Gearing for 1/4 Mile

[endlessperformance]

I'm looking to gear my K8 more towards the 1/4 mile and I'd like to see what the drag oriented guys are running for gearing; I have a -1 front that I have not installed yet and I am trying to decide what to run on the rear. I plan on adding a 40hp shot if that really makes a difference.

If you are at stock wheelbase,I would leave it at stock gearing. Lowering the gearing will cause you to wheelie in 1st gear.even more than it does now. If you stretch it out, thats a different story and lower gearing is recommended.

I'm running some extensions right now and I am about 4" over. I suppose I should baseline test it and see where I'm at, but I was curious what guys/gals were liking so far.

dont forget to take the bottle(NOS) in consideration? that will definitely change what RPM and what gear you cross the finish line at.

I'm 17F and 45R.... but I haven't put it on the track yet.

I ended up ordering the 17T/45T setup; I ended up with a Steel rear too instead of Aluminum.
