All right I've got a 93 coupe with the tko 5-speed, with headers, ud pulley, and exhaust

I just want to know what the stop speeds will be if it had the 3.08 gears, 3.55 gears, or 3.73 gears.

With your limited mods, the car will hit an areodynamic brick wall somewhere about 130-135 MPH. In fact, 4th gear may by faster top end than 5th. It won't make much difference what gears you have, since the engine power will limit the top speed.

Depending on what model TKO you have, the 5th gear drive ratio can be wildly different from the stock T5.

Since the top speed is a function of RPM, gear ratio, & tire size, use the calculator at http://www.corral.net/tech/gearcalc.html
