IMHO use the shortest possible gearing you can afford. acceleration is mathematical multiplied by the gear ratios....why go longer?

Nitrous is NOT just like boost... Especially on a stock bottom end motor you will destroy your rings with the addtional pressure... Boosted motors (turbo/supercharged) generate power by adding more air to the mix... Nitrous on the other hand is an oxidizer which still burns a lot hotter than any F/I motor under high boost... I personally would go with shorter gears if possible... AGAIN, you don't want to go too short as you will just spin... I would go with a basically stock gearing... On an N20 GSR motor I would stick with the GSR tranny... I wouldn't put a straight LS tranny on any B series motor making less that 600whp... It hurt my friend's daily driven GSR turbo EK's time and he was making 506whp... Just my $0.02 on the situation but you can do whatever you want... Peace
