I've been told by a couple old school guy's that ran many years N/A before all these fancy new ratios came out. Put in more gear then the car will take, make the car work better to take it, and just let the bitch spin out the back door where it ends up. Also have been told that the car should be geared to the 1,000' as well when racing in the 1/4?

I had a very sharp friend of mine say something similar; basically gear the trans and rear for the optimum starting line ratio and first half of the track, since that's where all the et is, and let the finsh line fall where it may.
