If Harv ever comes back, ask him. He used to autocross with 4.10s and I think he said he went over 120 with em

I believe Harve would tell you that you will just get to 120 faster...

It will lower your top speed a little, but seriously, who needs to go that fast more than be able to take off faster?

are you really ever going to go 120 in a race anyway (other than just going that fast for the hell of it which is stupid in itself). Top speed is such a ricer mentality ive heared civic people tell me that im going to loose to there stock civics cause there speedo goes to 140 where as mine goes to 120, believe me they already lost before i even neared 100. And i dont see why the **** people cant just hits search and the top of the forum, right next to live chat and calendars and type in "GEARS" set the peramiters to v6 section only and voila all the threads pretaining to gears appear right there for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no kidding. i hate the "lowers your top end card" that is played all the time. oh no, you can get up to only 130-140. whatever shall you do? you have no business going that fast, unless you have like a 10 second track monster and actually NEED more gear.
