H/C/I setup, 460rwhp 408rwtq. 6800rpm redline. Looking to add 4.10s. I was wondering what my top speed would be with 4.10s and also would I be able to use 6th gear as a pulling gear??

Add another 3-400rwhp and six gear will work.

1st Gear 45.09 MPH
2nd Gear 64.69 MPH
3rd Gear 93.65 MPH
4th Gear 133.92 MPH
5th Gear 188.62 MPH
6th Gear 234.94 MPH

You should be able to use it for some acceleration but,...I don't know if you could use it, lets say if you powershifted from 5th to 6th.... I wouldn't expect to win a race at that speed unless you were pumping out another 300-400hp.

But, I am only guessing on this one.

6th gear is a weak gear. It's not meant for acceleration like that. You better beef up your tranny before you do that or else at high speed it's not going to last long.
