1st - 5300
2nd - 5200
3rd - 5000
4th - 4800

Thats with 3.08's. Getting some 3.73's real soon though. It doesn't matter what rear end gears you have, the point is to try to keep it at the rpm where you are able to utilize your combo's (heads/intake/cam) power the most. Stock won't do much past 5400.

for those of you who have ran at the track, do you finish the run in third or 4th. I ran only twice and finished in a high third, or should i be finishing in 4th, im pretty sure that i have 3.08's. I know you guys with higher rears will be finishing in fourth but i just wanted your 2 cents anyways
