Broadkill,

I have similiar numbers, 630hp and 675 torque. I have a Dana rear with 3.08 gears running a Richmond 5 speed. I used to run Goodyears but needed to replace and went with Vredesteins. They are pretty good with grip but with that much tq at 3800 rpm it breaks lose anyway. I haven't run it at the track and if I did would use slicks. Off the top of my head I don't remember the ratio of first gear so I can't comment what that is. I worked the bugs out last summer so I am looking forward to having fun come the season. Good luck with it.
