You won't even come close to needing 5th with that combination. With 4.10's and those 26x8.5 slicks, you won't hit the rev limiter until well over 116mph and around 112 with 4.30's. I ran 4.30's with my EFI combination well past 114mph before I switched over to the AOD. Don't be afraid of gearing up...better too much gear than too little.

how you figure? there is guys going down the track with 4.10's and 26 inch tires going through the traps in 4th gear at 6k rpm?
yea thats not too bad, but im afraid my car just dont make much power after 5800 rpm or so, i think 373 is the gear to use with a daily driver/weekend warrior.......anyhow, thanx jeff, you been helpful I know what your saying about "gearing up" but i think the 373 will put me in low 1.7 60's where i want to be.
