He is ok! I tack 3000 RPM'S @ 90MPH on a 2003 gt with a 3650 trany.
:shrug:

Thanks,
I thought I had seen a previous post you had made, mentioning the 3000 RPM at 90 MPH. That is one reason I actually went ahead and went with the 4.10s instead of 3.73s. So while driving tonight hitting just under 2700 @ 80 didn't seem bad at all. Whatever. Your reassurance has helped. Thanks..

Are you at 3000 RPM'S @ 90 MPH? :shrug:

Still scared to try that gear with my 02 Auto.

Was thinking 3.55 for more top speed.

If you go here:

4.10 put you at 100 in third !! Not good at the track.

Auto, 275/40R17 tires

What kind of top speed are you aiming for and where do you plan to use this top speed? :shrug:
4.10 and 100 MPH in 3rd - hey, sounds good to me...Yep, if all goes well you'd like to be in 4th for just the last bit of the 1320. :nice:
 
Off topic a little bit.
Where is a good place to get the gears for as cheap as possible?
I wanted to get them for a while now, and this thread just convinced me to get 4.10s instead of the 3.73s :flag:

The diff. between the 2 trannys rpm's are not that much different.
They are almost identical.

not quite.

typical 4.10 gear GT runs about 111mph at 6000 rpm in 4th
4th is 1:1 ratio, so both trans are identical rpm's at this point

t-45 @ 6000 x .68 = 4080rpm at the same speed in 5th
t-3650 @ 6000 x .62 = 3720rpm at same speed in 5th

over 300 rpm difference shifting from 4th to 5th is NOT identical.
 
They either put 3.73's in or your speed cal is off because I am right at 2900 rpm at 80. I have checked various times because I hate it, I had Tim fix my speedo when I got my dyno tune and I have also been clocked by radar at 60, 70, 80 mph and the speed I was doing was what the radar read also. The radar was calibrated and correct.
