So, lets see if I am reading this right. The car you ran in Houston is a
newer car with a 440 and a low gear ratio. You have another car which you
are putting a 494 into and right now it has a 6 to 1 ratio. With the 494 a
6 to 1 ratio might be too much. Don't know anyone who runs one that high,
but everyone has their own preference and a 6 to 1 ratio might work for you
and your car. A 5 to 1 ratio will probably work better, some people run
4.5 to 1 or so with the 494. Testing is the only way to really find
out. With the 494 the course really won't dictate the gearing and it
really won't make much of a difference, except the higher the ratio the
lower the top speed will be.
Jim Murphy used to run Goodyear tires in Solo but switched to Hoosier a
year or 2 ago.
I used to run against the Miller car all the time in the early 90's.

Gary My tires were goodyear new with smaller on the front than rear. 7
1/2 on front. The course was fast on day 2 in was fast but tight. My
other car is set up more for auto cross I think. The gearing is 60 teeth
to 10 teeth 6 to 1 I will have a 494 in it do I need to go down a few
teeth or should the course dictate that. Also what is with the nitrogen
in the tires is that for reduction in expansion. The camber is at 5
degrees in this car looks about like his cars set up. The car is a 82 red
deviel from carralton, Tx and was driven by the millers.
