    I plan on using 4.11 gears for the strip.....assuming a stock height tire on 14 or 15" rims, what ball park will my rpms be in a quarter mile and eighth mile run. I plan on putting a rev limiter in at 6000.

    I made a mistake by getting a 28" tire.I have 4:11's and I trap at only 5700 through the 1/4.So Ill run them till I figure out what to do ether a 26" or 4:62s. I like the way the taller tire looks on the car.
