CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Question about going to a low 1st gear in a C4

I have a bracket car that runs 6.70's in the 1/8th with 1.43/1.44 60ft
The car has ladder bars/coil overs and i run a 28x10.5 bias slick weighs 3100lbs with driver
I am a huge fan of stock/super stock, especially the wheelstands.

When my car leaves it picks the front tires up about 8" and carries them out @20ft. I would like it to pick them up even higher
I was wondering if i put a low 1st gear in my C4 if it would make a big difference in how the car leaves. Also would it effect how the car runs.
