Car is 1/4 mile car but has been as fast as 5.90s in the 1/8, usually in the 6.0-6.15 range 113-116mph. I shift mine at 7000 and go through the lights (1/4 mile) at 7300-7400.
Thanks for the info, looks pretty much like the same set up as mine so I think the 4.56 gear will be a good choice for my combo.
