4th gear?

What gear should I be in at the end of the quarter mile. I have 3.91 gears and stock converter. Feels like it goes into 5th. At the end. Trap speed 110. 12.7

It depends on what the shift points are tuned for, and what the rest of the setup on the car is. I would probably want to keep it in 4th.

You should be turning ~5800 RPMs in 4th @ 110MPH on stock size tires.

5th gear would drop you to 4300.

Looked at my time slips and I was running almost 112 so I think I'm ok.
