I have a 6 spd car with a kenne bell 600rwhp wandering what would be the best gears for it. It has 373 now but at the track with drag radials it's blowing the tires off if I try to leave a little hard. It went 11.56 at 125.
Best gear for 6spd manual supercharged car
- Thread starter jccobra
- Start date
3.31 is ideal.
What is the suspension setup? I'm running 3.73s as well on a radial and it hooks hard enough to get air under the front tires

I have bmr upper and lowers ,dss drive shaft that's it. My friend tried to drive it and he was spinning to. His car n/a runs 11 teens.
Relo brackets too I assume?
Yes, 15x10 welds with 325/50/15 m/ t drag radials
I also think with 331s it will probably pick up mph.
325's are too much tire, 50 sidewall isn't helping with traction or gearing, but I'm sure they look good.
this calculator will help you decide which gear, 3.31's are probably best though. http://www.apexgarage.com/tech/gear_ratios.shtml

Yes it did look good but wasn't working. I'd like to try slicks next time and also change the gears.
Throw some adjustable shocks/struts in it at the same time. Makes a difference, esp if you're on stock stuff still
A 325/50/15 is a 28" tire and is perfect for drag racing. Its 50 sizewall is the same size as a 275/60/15
i have a tvs with a little over 600whp and i had 3.73 in the car. it was way too much for the street and sucked at the track because you would have to shift to much. i switched to 3.27 and i am loving it! car pulls hard and i can go wot in 3rd gear with no wheelspin on the street. the tvs sure loves the extra load
I think 331 would be the ticket the car just hits to hard.
