Default Those of you with gears..
What do you top out in each gear?

I have the stock 3.55 and i like how i can get to 40 in 1st, and 62 in 2nd, etc... i was thinking about the 4.10s but i dont want to top out at like 20 in 1st....

Post what gears your running and what you top out, thanks.

Default Gears
When I had 3.55's I could take 4th to almost 140 ... with 4.10's I have to shift just before 120.

well, also take into account the fact that you have 20" wheels, which do change the effective ratio a bit.
