Default 5th shift

so i have swaped my 3.73 gears for 4.10s and so far i love them but during racing a srt this weekend i noticed they seemed to run out of gear pretty quick so i check the gear chart and 410s top out like 112 mph(6000 redline)
so my queston is if you guys running 410s shift into 5th in the quarter or just raising your redline

depends on power level and where your cam makes power...some raise the limiter...some shift...but most would say if you cant rev higher change the gears

You'll lose more shifting into 5th than over revving past your shift point a few hundred rpm.

Just run a tire that's a little taller.

Run a 27" or 28".
