And the thing ya gotta remember, when going to stickies most guys jump up to like a 29" or 30" tall tire, which has at least a couple inches in height over the stock tire, which *really* compounds a gearing problem on a small block...

Would be hard to justify gearing it for the tall tires & the 1/8 mile if you mainly drive the car and only hit the track once or twice a year...but steep gears are FUN!
