why waist your time with 5.13s why not go with 6.55s then you can launch in 5th gear and still cut good 60' times and never have to shift

What was funnier than dimebags responses were the numerous serious responses. After the 2nd or 3rd time you asked what was funnier I almost started believing you lol. I think the list of 10 ratios in the first post gave it away

No offense but this is a poor comment, you can NOT tell someone there max speed with a certain gear without knowing the rear tire size, it plays a crucial role. People just automaticall jump as say its to much gear. For example I will be running a 4.30 gear with a 28 inch tire. As far as a comparision it will be almost identical to running stock wheel and tire size with a 3.90 gear goes, so that means my 4.30 setup will have the same top speed as your 3.90 setup if u are running the typlical 17 inch wheel and typical tire size.
