starting line gear ratio?

guys, thanks for the input. the charts are very neat. very possibly the Dick Miller 11.25 # was with a torque converter [didnt say in the book] and when you ad in torque multiplication, it changes everything.
with mine,as is, at 13.69, its high from Miller and low for both the 2 charts. however, I will rather be under geared than over reved at the stripe. plus I could just gain more MPH if the engine will continue to pull.

have to wait till Thanksgiving to run at Vegas [that just sucks-every track in the country is runnin' except Vegas]
Thanks again, all.
