4.10 with a 3550 trans and 245/45/17's
Tops at about 140 MPH (engine set at 6200 and drag keeps it just under at about 6100RPM) We'll test it again with an electric speedo this springand seewhat's really going on.

My 5th gear is .68 though. I think the t5 has a .63. not much difference, but with tires it can add up.

yeah it sure does.. why would i lie about what my own gears top out at?.. maybe its because i dont have as much power as you to add up to the gears.. 1st gear ends at 29.... 2nd at 55....3rd at 81..and 4th at 100.... i got 5th up to 135 but didnt notice what the rpms were at.

maybe thats where horsepower and different setup affect it because i would 1st to a little bit over 30 2nd to 60 3rd to i think almost 90 and i don't know about 4th or 5th

3.73s are the way to go for a stree/strip car... 4.11 for strip only. i have 3.73s and i'v had my car past the 140mph speedo on the highway so it doesnt take much of your top end away but helps a lot with off the line acceleration.

how many teeth are on your speedo gear?, over 3.73 gears use a 21 tooth gear, I have this one with my 3.90 gears and it goes over 100mph in 4th.
but your 50 less hp could be why
