id run a 4:56 , you dont want to get to high of a rpm at the traps with that stroker . if you run a street and strip i would use 4:10."IT'S 106 MILES TO CHICAGO , WE GOT A FULL TANK OF GAS , HALF A PACK OF CIGARETTES, ITS DARK, AND WERE WEARING SUNGLASSES"

If you know the RPM you want to run at the end of the quarter, use one of the Virtual Gear Ratio calculators to figure out your gear ratio. I would stay a bit on the conservative side on the gear ratio, normally strokers don't like a lot of RPM and quite easy to rev beyone the max torque RPM of the motor.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
