You won't be too steep on SLR, unless you over rev it ( too much rear gear) on an 1/8 mile track, IMHO. If you race a delaybox class, you can launch at a lower rpm if need be. I have had good consistancy with 11.17 slr, much more than recomended by most, by launching at 3900 on a converter that flashes to 6200, running 8.60 1/4 mile with 550 cubes.

We run SLR's in the 12's with the red car on a 29.5x10.5 tire(not W)with no issues running 7's. Dont get caught up in "ideal" numbers every combo is different. Might have to work on the car a bit to make it work but if you have an ET goal you are gonna have to work to get there anyway.
I also run 8's with a 3600lb 64 Plymouth NA and my SLR is 10.4 and still on the 29.5x10.5 tire. Its not rocket sceince.

Thanks for the replies Guys. I think we just need to go out and thrash it to see what it likes and go from there. The rear gear was picked to match up where we thought we'd be at RPM/trap speed-wise. If we do need more, powerglide gears aren't hard to find. I suspect it will like more ratio in the glide, as that short stroke can use it.
