What MPH = 550 HP??

I want to know how steep of a gear I could go with. So how fast will I trap with a cam and a 150 shot? The 122 MPH in my sig is stock internal and a 100 shot and can probably be improved by ~1 MPH.
123 MPH + ~100 RWHP = ??
Anyone know a link to one of those calculators? <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

550 rwhp is good for low to mid 130's in an M6.

I've had a 600rwhp cars that ran 132, a 500rwhp car that ran 130, and a 540rwhp car that ran 123. It just depends on many factors.

using 28" tires you should be fine up to 134 or so with 4.10's.

here is a link to a calculator.
