Rookie at miller in sept. What ratio?
I'm a rookie in ST2 and I've never run Miller. For the Nationals I'm considering changing from a 342 rear end to either 373 or 390.
I have a custom RPM trans with .85 5th gear. Should I stay with what I've got or make the change?
If you have experience at Miller, I would like to hear opinions. I am putting down 374 rwhp.
Cheers,
CV

Stock gear ratios work fine for me at Miller

M6 and 3.42 is pretty good as you have a nice 2-4 ratio spread and good gearing from 50 mph to 145 mph
posted some wanted traqmate data from any C5 or C6 at MMP but haven't found any yet.

Yes the car did have aero, sorry no data. We'll have to wait till this year, but we are running a G2X. Guess we'll have to wait for that.

Correct, although it is a very long straight with the elevation you get a lot of power loss so it's no faster than the end of the back staight at Mid Ohio
