I run a Richmond 4.33 with a 26" tire on mine.
4.56 is probably as low a gear you can go for 1/4 mile racing with that size tire. You will be turning the stock motor pretty high no matter what cam you have with the 4.56's and a short tire. Probably 6800-7000 through the traps. 6500-6600 with the 4.30's
