it`s been a longtime since i`ve been to the drag strip .. if i remember correctly your optimum gearing would allow you to reach the finish line at the same rpm you make your shifts at ..for 1/8 mile blasts i always liked a 4;56 gear in my 429 tbird .. i would shift from first to second at 5500 rpm .. the 2nd to drive at 5500 rpm and reach the finish line at a bit under 5500 ..i had a 28 inch tire as well ..i dont remember my ET or speeds .. you mite be able to tote that tall a gear even for a full 1/4 with a high reving small block ..
