Default Will I run out of RPM's

I have a 94 Formula M6

Current setup
bolt-ons/GTP stage 2 H/C & Nitrous
26x11.5-16 ET Streets
4.10 Gear
12.1@120MPH 2.0 60' (I know that sucks)

Am considering swapping for a 700R4 and leave the 4.10 gear I have been running.

My question is will I run out of gear with that trans /gear combo

At 6500rpm running 26" tires, you will go 123mph.
At 6500rpm running 28" tires, you will go 132mph.

How high can you spin?

rev limiter is set at 7000
normally shift at 6200-6500 depending on how the car is acting.

I just don't want the car wanting to shift into OD before the traps.

Make sure it is a manual valve body setup and you should be fine. 3rd gear in the 700r4 is the same as 4th gear in you M6 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Honestly I think you should spend your money on a 12 bolt instead of that 700r4, then you can actually launch that car HARD <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
