Default 1/8 mile gears/tires

Anybody got any #'s for what tire/gears it takes to go 6400 in third (727) in an 1/8th mile? 4:56/29" seems to get close to top of second gear! I paid for 3 gears, I'd like to use them. Any ideas? Thanks.

At a guess I would say a 5.13 would be close.

MOPE, this is still just a guess but I would think the 28 inch tall tire would get you closer to 6400 than the 29. I think the 29 might get you close with a 5.38 gear. This is still my gut feeling, I haven't punched it in on a calculator.

Just for reference, I am running 5000 at the traps in the 1/8th with a 4.30 gear and a 27 inch tall tire. Same combo goes 6100 in the 1/4.
