660' Drag Setup for stock XTX (top gear selection)

[Straight_up_XTX]

I want to enter an amature drag race this weekend and the strip is 1/8th mile (660 foot).

my sled is stock with the exception of an ultra-q muffler and a 1.75 Backcountry track.

Question: Should I swap in my 20 tooth top gear or stick with my stock gear?

My main concern is that my sled will top out too quickly and I may have a disadvantage near the end of the strip with the 20 tooth. Or do you think I will still be accelerating up to 660 feet with the 20 tooth?

All suggestions welcome... Thanks

This is just a fun event for me to kill a saturday but if I enter I would like to put my best foot forward.

I'd stay with that gear especially with that track. Just my opinion

Stay with the stock gear or gear down to the 20 tooth?

I have stock gearing in the sled right now.

set weight transfer max to get good traction. and also if it were me i would loosen my secondary to let it shift faster so to get better traction with the lower gearing.

Gear down to 20, if you can get hold of a 51/43 helix(stock apex), throw it in.
