Switching to 4.30 gears

nathan 73 dart said
I recently foung a set of 4.30 center section for sale with a suregrip. My car Has a 440 with eddy heads balanced looking to top out somewhere near 6000 rpm. It has 28" tall mickey thompson drag radials with 3.55 gears. I'm curious if this would be to much gear and what others experiences have been with them.

It should be fine, one of my friends ran 4.30's in his 451 Dart with 275/60 radials for years and they worked good in the 1/4 when he had a hyd cam, when he switched to a solid he went to a 29x11.5 to keep the RPM's in range, it was running 98-99mph in the 1/8, 117-118mph in the 1/4.
