Default What should I be running???

Take a look at my list of mods. What should I be running at the track on stock tires. Im not a bad driver Im just not sure what rpm I should be shifting at. I think Im shifting too soon and Im not sure what rpm to launch at. My first time ever going down the track I ran a 14.5 stock. I have a few things on my car now. Whats should I be running???

Yeah you wouldnt really see much of a gain with just those mods, tires and gears is at the other end of the spectrem.

i dont know ...ive got 3.90 gears and nittos and my best time was 14.2 with a 2.1 60 foot launching at 3 grand. Ive also got a prochamber, short ****fer, cold air, flows, and lowering springs which i think hurt my time in the worst way. I think im am a great driver so....(maybe not)

I want to do 3.73's and catted x next, I think that should give me a good extra push. If I get a good enough bonus at work one month kenne bell here I come!!!

I did x pipe w/ cats and headers on my car, didnt notice too much of a differance. The 3.73's should help, but 4.10's would help more, then again so would 5.80's....

Yeah Ive been back and forth on the whole 3.73/4.10 issue and I think for me since I wont be going to the track very often Im leaning more towards the 3.73's. I drive on the freeway everyday so Im just afraid of not liking the 4.10's.
