Mine runs about 50 in first and 88 in second with 30" tires and 3.73 gears. 6000 rpm first shift and about 58-5900 second. Plenty tall IMO.

I like my old 3.23 for roll racing. Would run 115 in second. With my current 4.10s it leaves me dead in the middle of third gear if I drop at 70.

Deeps completely on what speeds you plan to race at? Ie 30-75 or 45-120 etc.

If you want a roll monster dollar for dollar spray is your best choice. A 150 shot is enough to keep about anyone behind you.
