Default top speed

with 4.11 gears you just get there faster and when you top 5th out grab 6th and watch your rpm not move because its not going to 6 is a crusing gear not a pulling gear if 5th is already topped out whenever you put it in 6th gear it wont go any faster it will just hold the speed that you are at im doing 150 with 4.11 they will just get you there faster then stock gears so whatever you top out in 5th that is as fast as your going to go have a good day

GPS verified at 162... 5500 RPMs in 5th gear. Theoretically, if you could get up to 6000 in 6th you would be going 268, but i dont really see that happening. http://www.f-body.org/gears/ is a pretty interesting way to play around with speeds, and gears, etc.
