I just went from a 4.56 to a 4.33 in my bracket car has about the same 60's and runs 6.90's in the 1/8th. Mind you i have a glide in mine but even this small change moved my spot on the bulb a noticeable amount. I went from having to hang on the bulb just a bit to being able to just let go like it was the top bulb. car weighs 2850 with driver. this is with a small block leaving at 3000 Rpm. with 32lbs of pressure in the fronts. 26" tall fronts. car wont yank the tire out of the beam so if yours is already picking it up out of the beams i dont know whether the gears will help.
