Without any confirmation other than word from the previous owner, my car currently has 3.42s in it. With those 3.42, i trapped a best of 124. But i do not remember what RPM i went threw at, nor was i logging data.
The car has a 26" tire, stock geared 60e and makes about 430 on motor and will be getting 100/150 of Nitrous.
Since the rear going is is a ford rear(8.8) i have been made to beleive ford racing provides the best gear quality wise, so i will most likely be going with them.
Making my choices most likely 3.73 or 3.55.
and yes, i tried all those gear calculator things, they blow.

What are you spinning the engine to?
I expect you will see 10+ mph with that shot so the maths should be easy on what you will need at the end of a run. Worst case if it's trapping with more bald eagles than anticipated, you can go to a taller tire. Then when you go with the turbos, you will be reassessing this all over again.
