all depends on the combo...et, mph, and rpm is what determines your ideal gear.
26in tire, 4.30's, 1:1 (3rd if auto, 4th if stick) and 6800rpms (where i need to trap) is like 120mph, im shooting for 11 flat, and maby even a 10.99 if i can get her there, with alot of good suspension mods. 11 flat is right at the 120mph range...i should trap 118 anyway, which is like 11.1-11.2ish.
--- and no its nowhere close to stock lol
331, canfield 195's, CI cam, 10.7:1CR ,going to tko600 and 4.30's in a sn95, no a/c or smog
so far stock suspension...i wont hook lol

Don't take that the wrong way Bball. I'm just saying without moves like heads, cam or mininum an intake. Steep gears will be a waste of time, gas, kill your highway comfort and spin your tires launching. But if you already have those mods, carry on.
