Gear change for nitrous?


I have an 82 hatch that weights 3010 race ready. It runs mid 9.8's to low 9.9's depending on track situations. I have been running mostl 1/8 mile low 6.20's to mid 6.30's but an occasional, 1/4 { NMCA, NMRA, Ect...} Problem is. My peak HP is @ 6850. I shift @ 6500 and go thru the traps @ 7300-7400 in the 1/4. I am adding a nx hitman plate system with 200 shot single stage. What would be an ideal gear ratio to keep the rmp no higher than 7000-max 7200?
Current set up is. 418w, c-4, 5500 converter, 4.10 ratio, 28x10.5x15

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I thought about the 3.55's. I think they would work great @ the big end in the 1/4 but not in the 1/8. I probably wont spray off the line or thru 2nd. But I might do it once all out tho see what It will do. But mainly plan on high gear use, for a couple events.
