You will slow down b/c you need the power right away when rolling down a 1/4 mile track. 410's are a very good bet. I managed a 10.9 with mine as I use to go as well. Im pushing more power than you. I have 525 torque to the ground. This spring i swapped out my rear end. I had 373 installed. I haven't been to the track since doing this but I can bet Id be running 11.3 to 11.6. That 10.9 was my PB as normal runs seemed to be in the 11.2 range. I had a badass 60ft time on that run. Thats really what makes ur race quick and is most important. That first 60ft. Since swapping gears to 373 i can really tell the car just isn't as powerful. Still fun to drive don't get me wrong but definitely not as manly.

I just don't like how short 1st gear is. The other gears feel good
