Im running out of gear at the track....
2012 Boss with 3.73s ran a best of 10.87 at 129mph shifting into 5th I hit the limiter a few hundred feet from the finish. Ran consistent 11.0s at 128 keeping the car in 4th.
I have 295/60/15 MT et streets
Should I go with 3.55 or 3.31s?
What are some of your setups?

I would go to 3.31'a if I was you. You will see the best results at the track and on long pulls you will pull forever.

Having that setup before a 3.73 is a good n/a gear but with fi it's just to short .. a 3.31 gear is about perfect for the street and track.

Another vote for 3.31s. With a 28" tire you can finish the quarter mile strong at the top of 4th at 130-135mph

I went down to 3.27's to stay in fourth through the traps but I'm sure 3.31's would be just fine.
