Depending on your motor and driving style.. 1/4 mile 5.88 to 6.26
1/2 mile 4.86-5.23

I agree with dustbowl on the 1/4 gears,but for the 1/2 miles it all depends on how the track was actually measured, i've ran gears from 4.86 - 6.03 all on tracks that were called 1/2 miles.On a true 1/2 mile track i would go with 4.86-5.42 based on track conditions (tacky or dry)

Anyone runs these #'s with a 410, it'll have block ventilation very quickly!
