I went ot the analyzer and plugged in my 5100 RPM max i can get in 5th with my 3.73 and 26 diameter tires

It says i would be going like 155

Is this actualyl right or is my tire diameter to big i didnt veen check all i knwo is my tires are ont eh pony rims and they are taller then the stock ones

At teh same RPM with 2.73 however it says liek over 200MPH

I am pushing somewher around 300 horses at the rear wheels....

Do they gears really affect top speed?

Or is it the wind resistance that makes it stay aroudn 150?

THanks guys
