WTF are you talkin' about?? I run 4.10's and barely turn 2400 at 65 mph, I've installed many 4 .10 set ups in mustangs for guys and never in 5th gear is it reving like crazy.......internet hogwash.

Maybe hogwash.

I only base my opinion on my 66 which has a 3.50 rear and Ford toploader. In fourth gear, she revs at 4,000 going 70 mph. If I had a fifth gear, don't know how much it would drop off on the rev count.

Since you actually install gears, I will defer to your opinion.
