Question At what RPM do you go through the traps?

There are a few different tire choices. I was wondering at what RPM are you going through the traps in the 1/4? Please post RPM, which tire and size, and gear ratio (or year).

I d/k for sure but it's in the 'red'. 3.73 with 16" M/Ts-o/d 'off'.

2000, 3.55, 28" Hoosiers, 4300 rpm. I need about another 750-1000 rpms.

I'm surprised so low since with F1's I am going through at 5500-5600. F1's are 28.1" tall. I am wondering what RPM would the 26" tall ET Streets will put me through the traps with 3:73's.

Thanks all! The reason I am asking is because the cheapest and easiest way to get more gearing (final drive ratio) is to put a shorter tire on. I don't want 4:10's because of my long highway commute (>70 miles RT) and I don't need to be spinning this thing higher for no reason for a few hours daily. Not to mention, not being able to get the power to the ground on the street. I remember there being a formula where you can plug in numbers but I can't find it.

If I go with the 26" tall ET Streets, I want to make sure that
1) I am still making power at XXX RPM
2) I don't want to shift in to OD
