Or I guess with enough power it might be better to near redline in 3rd at the trap speed. Right?
My line of thinking, you don't want to waste time shifting right before you finish. And it's best to use the gearing to the cars advantage, up until you make enough power to waste the short gearing. But I don't think we're in that range.

The problem is that the approrpiate sized tire for our gearing presents fitment problems; it's very borderline. When expanding it might rub up into the wheel well. It probably doesn't matter for dragging, but taller gearing and shorter tire means less rotational mass (smaller tire). I'm only entertaining the idea because I have to buy wheels and tires anyway.
