Best Gears for Texas Mile Course I took my 99 camaro ss (vert) 6M to the Texas Mile last weekend. It hit the rev limiter at 6,000 rpm. With stock 3.42 gears it should hit 160 mph I think it has 4.10 gears in the rear. Can anyone tell me what gears are in the axle based on the rpm/speed ratio.
Also, any ideas on the best rear gears for maximum speed at the Mile?
Attached is a video of several runs.

Stock trans with stock tire size and 4.10 gear gets you 151mph @6000rpm.
This is a handy calculator.

The number you ran is spot on.
