Default 4.10's?

I just put in a rear end w/4.10's. Not sure if I like them yet, but I will know after the track rental on the 29th.

What top speed does the car hit in 4th gear w/4.10's & 6000 rpm rev limiter?

I trap @ 111 w/ old 3.42 set up.

I think you're looking at 5th gear. I assume you have M6.

My math says 108 MPH at 6000 RPM with a 4.10 gear and the stock SS tire (Goodyear specs from tirerack.com for 275/40/17 Eagle F1 = 811 revolutions per mile).

Dave can't you have your PCM retuned? How come you don't like the gears?

I thought you put in ls6 springs in a few weekend ago opps my bad. I thought the ls1's can be reved up to 6400 no prob.? The stock is set at 6200 so 6400 isn't so bad what Don say about the limit?

Is that the only reason you don't like the gears?

I have a set of 918's w/titanium retainers, but they are not in the car yet. I did not ask Don, because I did not think about it until recently. The gears are just not what I am use to. I am use to the car pulling longer in each gear. I'll know better what I think of them after LVD. I'll fell better when I beat you. j/k

you should be able to rev up to 6500 on the stock ls1 setup. It's not like you're spending a lot of time up there.
