don't know about the top speeds but a general rule of thumb is:
Forced Induction = 3.73s
N/A = 4.10s

either way you'll notice a pretty nice increase over stock

with either gear you don't have the power to redline in 5th gear. you just won't be able to do it unless you have a lot of power

There are a zillion posts on 3.73 vs 4.10s. Use the search function on this site and youll find out all you want.

As for top speeds, dont worry about it. Unless you're racing on the salt flats you'll never reach the top speed, and even then you'd need some serious power.

But with 4.10s and the t-45 transmission, (not taking drag and power into account) at 6000 rpm you'd be around 167mph.

Use google and type in "mustang gear calculator" and youll get a bunch of cool calculators.

Get 4.10s trust me you'll love them[8D]

If you make enough power were you'll have to finish in 5th on the track then just compensate with a taller tire
