Thanks for the info. Butler did a good job on the heads. Air flow over .550 is very modest as with most d-ports due to shrouding. Please post the exhaust numbers too. My car at 3500lbs+ trashed the spider gears on a good track running in the 11.0 range. If you use a Strange spool, it is a 4 series and you will need 4 series gears. I do not know of anything numerically smaller than 3.73 for a 4 series carrier. The 3.55's would be great for the nitrous though. My 28" tires and 3.73's turn the motor too hard through the quarter.
