Default 4.10 owners come in

went to the track last night in my 01 z06 with 18 inch bfg drag radials and i was wondering if you other racers shift into 5th with 4.10s because i had to on all 3 passes last night. would it be different on street tires because i never had to before? thank you

I run 17" ET Streets. Mine is not a Z06, but it is not stock either (see sig). I haven't had to shift into 5th, but I all but hit the 4th gear rev limiter every time.

Make use of those gears and up your rev limiter and shift at a higher rpm.
