You'll be limited by wind resistance before you hit the theoretical top speed. I see you're also looking at drive shafts and they have theoretical top critical rotation speeds too.

hi try this link!!!!26 inch tyre!!!! rpm!! diff ratio 3.9 or 3.7 !!!! trans gear which is 1to1 in 3rd and as far as i know 0.70 to 1 in 4th in a 4l60e!!! as said wind resistance etc etc come into play way before you will hit top speed!!!! but will give you an idea of freeway rpm etc !!!!cheers

I would think that a stock rear gear would net you better high speeds

A4 + 3.91's FTW!!!! 184mph seems plenty fast to me :)

You will want to hit your goal in 3rd not OD or run a 28inch tire.

Shifting into OD @ WOT can't be done very many times, even in a built auto.

both in 4th

Really hope noone is taking their 4th gear to 6000+ cuz that transmission ain't lasting long.
