Drag racers use lower gearing like 3.73, 3.91 or 4.11
The motor runs at higher RPMs with lower gears.
The higher the rpm, the more Hp it's pushing, blah blah etc etc.
Bottom line.... they only have 1/4 of a mile to squeeze as much juice as they can out of the lemon.
It's easier to get there if you hit the ground running instead of walking.

Go for a 3:42 gear and if you need more put smaller diameter tires or slick on it like a 25" and that will give you an effective ratio of about 3:70 or so and when you drive it on the street use the standard 26.5" tire for the true 3:42 ratio
