RE: Top Speed With Gears.......
About 152 with your stock tires, trans, and engine. With 3.90 (or 3.9something) your top speed will be 149. With 4:10 it will be 132.
The funny thing is that you won't be driving those speeds too long at all, never. You might goof off once in a while, but usually highway speeds are 90 mph, 120 if you're in a hurry.

Are you just trying to top out or what??? You should be able to break 150 (even though that's really stupid). If I remember correctly (it was a loooong time ago) I htink Jdaniel said he hit 152 with his GT and 4.10's.....

RE: Top Speed With Gears.......
bryan...look around on the forums....there are TONS of arguments about 3.73 and 4.10 gears. from what ive heard, i would go with 4.10s. the acceleration ill be better, and your gas mileage will still only drop maybe 2 mpg from stock from what i understand. i think with 4.10s youd be at about 3000 rpms going 90 i heard somewhere. but seriosuly, check around the forums, especially check out the sticky in the 4.6 section of the forums.
my $0.02 is for 4.10s tho.
