Actually top speed on a 4.6 may actually INCREASE with a switch to 4.10's. Lets think about it. Top speed is approx 153 or so stock if I remember correctly. Now this top speed is drag limited, as I believe its geared high enough to approach 200mph (just not enough power).
Now at 80mph with 4.10's your gonna be at 2900 rpm. So I figure at 5800 rpm that would put you at 160mph. Also at the crucial 140mph mark your actually IN YOUR POWERBAND with 4.10's, shich should help you continue to rev PAST 153. Just my hypothesis, never tested it myself.
