C4 + Novi2000 = what gear

**FoMoCo1** · 09-13-2003, 12:33 AM

i am wondering what gear you guys with c4's and novi's are using
i went the local track today and i had to let off waayyy early to keep from over-revving the motor
i have 4:10s, would 355's or 373's be better?
i really dont want to spin the motor over 6200rpm
any help would be great

how tall are you tires? if i went to 3.73's i would almost be bangin on the limiters.

If it were me I would be thinking 3.55s if it were me.:)
A little on the safe side maybe.

so you guys think 355's are the way to go?

I do....i plan on trapping @ 122-124 next year and that would put me up around 5800 or so........I'm happy with my 3.55's. And it is very streetable. 28" tall tires, @ 55mph is 2400 rpm's on the highway.

i only want to do this one time, i have a bunch of people telling me go with the 355s and a bunch saying 373's
i dunno which way to go

Another vote for 355's here Clint. That way you can put some 26's on there, or 27's if you wanted a little more rpm. You wouldn't be able to do it with 373's and a 26" tall tire.
