Guys, How does HP have anything to do with Gearing? If you have a 1000 hp or 20... Gear ratios are gear ratio's no matter what. This is all RPM dependent, Transmission Ratio Dependent, Rear End Ratio dependent and Tire HEIGHT dependent... HP/ Torque make your car accelerate at different rates. (Simply put)

BTW, I run 3.55's and do 80MPH in 5th gear at about 2.5k

[align=left]silver91gt- how do you like your 3.90s? whats your top speed with them?
[/align]
I like them very much and my top speed is over 250kph, buried the speedo once and it was still accelerating slowly, but thats too fast on the highway, so I slowed down

+1 It does not matter if you have a 4cyl 8cyl 20hp or 1000hp, in 4th gear(1 to 1) with 3.73s your speed will be the same no matter what HP you have. It will be more than 100mph.
