Even with lower than stock 4.45 final drive our top speed in 4th is 160
This takes a power curve that is still making torque out there though.
I planned to take my car but have not had time. Part of why went through turning it up on the dyno. Going to do it anyway at the mile when it needs more to make the aero load. Might as well make the mess at home.
Aero load goes up at the square of speed so you need lots of Hp to get the top numbers. The key is making sure your peak HP is at peak aero load or top speed. You could see with stock 4.05 gears it would be below peak HP up top. Then there are 3 combos of 5th to play with. Ples theres always tire diameter.
