no DD = 4.30s, the machs have a .62 5th gear, with 4.30s at 80 mph you will be right around 2800 rpms, also, the DOHCs love to rev,
you will loose like 2mpg as well, and if your car actually has the power to pull the car throught 5th gear with 4.30s, your top speed will be 175+ mph still
you dont "sacrifise" top end, shorter gears make the car rev more so you get into your top end power band quicker
at the end of the track, (weather it be 1/8 or quarter) you want to be at the RPMs your car makes peak power at in your 1:1 gear
