Default gear ratio's

I have the old school Accord drag car and I have a question about final drives.I do not have many choices in gear specs.I know that the taller gears are better for 1-4 but I have 3 choices for fd.The choices I have are 3.86,4.06,and a 4.20.I have the 3.86 in but which would be better for drag racing.Also I am running a 24.5 inch tire and would know how a taller and different fd would help.I would like to thank Charles Madrid for all the info he gave me this weeken,does anyone have his e-mail address or his shop #.Thank you.

THe biggest thing you have to worry about is the drops in RPM in each gear. I would recommend to run the Accord Type-R tranny out of Europe. It has the best gear ratios (stock) that I can find.
