How fast do most races you guys take part in go up to? i could get some 4.11 gears, or some 3.80. but with the 4.11 my top speed will be 99.8 mph. not that i really need to go that fast ever, but it is fun everyonce in a while. so, from a dig how what speed do u normally cut it off?
I would not be putting a steep gear in a 3 speed auto... your gonna be taching 5 grand at 70 MPH lol.

I shut it down in the middle of 4th - say ar around 140 or so

Seriously, when I had my blown Mustang,I would run through the gears and shut it down as soon as I hit the top of 4th. With 4.10's that was somewhere around 115. Even at that, I only did that merging onto highways.

Damn Corvette arrogance!

I'm pretty sure the Z06 can finish the quarter in 3rd gear, correct?
