With my 06, ~650 rwhp with 50/50 water meth, tried the hero gear since I drew first. First pull hit 4th, truck fell on it's face, went about 300 ft, and they added more weight so I had to pull last. Next time, same air pressure, heavier sled, tires are 285 Cooper Discoverer S/T's, pulled 314 in third gear.
600hp, 4th gear?

You mean you guys can't run boggers like we can in the sand box lol... I run new 33"x14-16 boggers in 3rd gear, kills the motor at the end almost every time lmao. Due to the twins it throws me into the extreme class, so I gotta get every last bit of ground possible with the stock motor. I'll be looking into the unlock sw for next year, I'm sure it will help keep the motor kickin.
Boggers def do not work out this way. There was a couple trucks around here with them and they went no where, and I'm letting out at the end. Needless to say all of those guys bought sts and there were on my tail after that.

The other reason I will be running 4th next year is our sled operator lets us run out there. He likes to let the diesel guys put on a show and lets us run on average 350'.
I don't think there is a Super Stock gas rig out here that does not run them, so I figured what the hell I'll give it a try. They bite so hard out here I cringe going down the track when it pulls the motor down. Any other tire I tried, I was 20-30' behind the big dawgs. With the boggers I'm right there with them and even won the last pull. So far, I'm the only one using them in the class. If the surface was different out here, they would not hook worth shit though.
fwi i was turing around 4400 in 3rd gear 3.73 gears. When i would hit 4th gear i would turn around 2800-3000 max. It was actually faster in 3rd becuase at the huge rpm loss. Im going to bet money now that you will not be able to turn 6 sts tires in 4th gear. NO WAY. Slap some 35's on get alittle more ground speed out of them and put it in 3rd gear and let it eat!!!!!
The quality of the video's suck, but the pic on the bottom is what she looks like. Buddy didnt give my hook back on time after his pull, so i made sure to bend his stock hitch durring my pull

I agree no way 6 tires in 4th. I'm just going to have to do some experimenting I guess. I think I may just try the dual 33's 1st in 3rd gear. If not I'll grab myself a set of 35's...

i choose option C!!! lol i can make u a very nice inner rim to run duals when u want, or a normal outter tire when u want!! just say the word, pete!!
y not duals with 4th i did with 3.73s no problem!!! lol jk jk jk
I have tried lots of options and i can carry the same ground speed in 3rd with
stock gears than i could hitting 4th with 410s and dont bog near as bad at the end. first vid is 3rd and second is 4th on similar tracks
