dont listen to peaple about top speed unless you plan to drive over like 140 thats whree the top speed comes in play. and im pretyt sure not alot of you guys are trapping over 140 at the track.

And I'm sure most of you guys aren't hitting over 145mph on the Highway...


Besides, w/ my car and 3.73's, @ 120mph, I'm at 4200RPM's, w/ PLENTY of room to boot....

I am going with the 390's ...... I think, still have not made up my mind, I have 373's now but they are going out. I have a hard time keeping them from spinning before I installed my LCA's and think that I might do the UPA's first to see what that does to keep from spinning 1's 2nd, and 3rd.

Yes... lower ratio gears will decrease your "top speed", but only if you are already pegging their tach in 5th. Anybody here doing that?

Maybe I'm a bitch, but I've NEVER topped out any of my vehicles.. I've owned a few too...


Well, except the Caravan.. That thing was shaking so bad, at around 110mph, I almost didn't make it... What it'd feel like to be young and stupid again...
