how do u think its to much gear 5 is 1 to1 just like 4th gear used to be back a few years ago my plan was to use 5th gear i mentioned 4.56 just because i could use it since i'm in 5th even if i would have went to 3.73 i would either be going through the traps at about 7200 rpm or shift fifth right now i'm going through traps at 6100 rpm and i dont mind the extra shift also as more tracks are looking to goto 1000 ft over 1320 i'll be all setup for that

I've been looking at this picture for several minutes and don't see you on the fence anywhere. Just your great looking 5.0L in front of the fence.
j/k. Go with 3.73's and a 28" tall drag radial. That will allow you to trap in 4th gear as high as 122 mph (to allow for some future power mods).
