Default 07 Cobra owners are the smartest!

Look at this quote i just found. This is a guy that swaped the stock gears for 4.10's.. I know my Ls1 brothers are smarter than this..


From a 07 Shelby Cobra owner

John, the gears might have impacted horsepower because the peak horsepower came right near the rev limiter. During the prior runs, this peak would have occurred at around 7,000 - 7,500 rpm, well after the engine would have shut down. However, the gears pull the power sooner, so you see a jump in horsepower right before the rev limiter. I hope this makes sense.

Just to make sure I'm reading this right...basically he claims the gears lower the RPM that he makes peak hp?
Whoever invented those gears will make a fortune!!!! Whats next? 4.55's that have better fuel economy?
