I do not have my 4.30 gears installed yet so I can not comment on trap speeds with them. However, in addition to what information these guys can give you, I think what you need to use is a good gear calculator. Here is one right here:

Well, I'm trying to think of someone who has an automatic thats running 4.30 gears in the rear. I know plenty with 4.10's like RacerGT, Roque, Flo Bee, and others but none with 4.30's. The only guy I know who "might" have run 4.30's in the auto is Nitro Lew, but he doesn't post much over here. Hopefully, someone will chime in who has experience with 4.30's in the automatic. BTW, that gear calculator I gave you the link to is pretty close to actual speeds and mph.

I've never ran at the track, but with 4.10s my car shifts into OD at about 110mph. So my revs would be right up around 5000-5500 rpm at about 100 mph I think. I'll go out later and see.

I just now rememebered. Ask RacerGT. He ran a 13.039 without the spray in his automatic. He has a 3500 stall converter with 4.10's and some other bolt-ons.

KJ- I have a stock torque converter for the time being and the tires were 275/40-17 Nitto drag radials. This is also with bad 60 ft times as well. Usually, average a 2.05 60 ft time.
