    how much time can i shave by going from a 3.50 gear to a 4.11. i was going thru the 1/4 at about 4700 to 4800 rpm best time of 13.61 @98mph just curious.

    John,

    There should be an improvement in ET, but I wouldn't know what. However, if everything remained the same except for the gear, your revs would increase from 4700 to 5500.
