Default Top speed on M6 w/4.10s?

Car is gettin 4.10s while its at the tuner, so i was wondering how the top speed of an M6 with 4.10s is gonna be affected. I dont usually do "top speed runs", but for the occasional M3 that I race out here, it'd be good to know.

Thanks for your input,
-Charlie

You'll be able to hit about 110 in 4th and 150 in 5th. Check out the first sticky about the effects of changing gears.

You absolutely can hit 150 in fifth with stock 3.42 in an M6. I know this, you can infact bounce the speedo needle - on an approved road race track of course

I guess i havent been pushing hard enough. Thanks for the input guys! LS1tech rules !!!111eleven.

So the consensus is I will have no issues running out of gear at say... 120mph, with 4.10s? Sweet

Yea I have buried the speedo in my car, in 5th. And I was showing around 5700 rpms, and then I think it hit the rev limiter(damn factory tachs are to slow).
