    Do you think you will end up shifting into 4th just before the 1/4 mile?

    Make sure you do have a flash ready for the 3.73 or you will go into limp mode as soon as you hit 4th gear..

    If you're shifting at 6400 with stock height sidewalls
    22" wheels will get you to 112
    20" wheels will get you to 105
    19" wheels will get you to 101
    18" wheels will get you to 98
    17" wheels will get you to 94

    Since those gears should get you to those speeds in a shorter distance I think you're going to be trapping in 4th.
