WALKED AWAY FROM A C5 VERT

thats what i said too. with 4:10s you loose your top end but gain acceleration. Maybe thats why you had to go into 5th.
140+ with 4.10's????????
I love this argument. The deal with that is from the factory, a Mustang doesn't have enough power to over come the drag with the stock 3.23 gears. In theory you should lose top end with the 4.10's if you had enough horsepower to red line the car in 5th. Which you don't.
So by adding the 4.10 gears to the rear end it makes the power that the car has more useable. Easier to turn the taller gear, and actually increases the top end of a Mustang.
Now if it was say 600 hp...You would lose a lot of top end with the 4.10's.
Yeap. Everyone here knows the mods I had to my GT and I have two witness (one of which died this month) that my car has done 155+ with 4.10 gears without any sort of poweradder. Sorry, buddy... but 4.10 gears are probably THE best gear for the GT model mustang and up.
Did you have your spedometer adjusted? I know it says 155, but i chased an old dude in a taurus on the interstate at 135 after I got my 3.73s in. Not positive, but i dont think that is what we were actually going.

Ummm... Im no N00B. I have an SCT chip that I bought from MD that was 4.10 corrected. So yes... my speedometer is correct and has been verified with a GPS. Would you like to see that video also?

If you can pull it off, more power to you! Just sounded a little off to me.
