Question, I don't have a stang so I need your advice. I have a guy showing a pic of him doing 138mph with an RPM reading of about 4,300. Do these numbers seem to jive? The reason why I am raising an eyebrow is because he claims to have taken this pic himself and it is CRYSTAL clear and only of the gauge cluster. I know that there is a self test on the stang in which the needles move. What do you think?

138mph at 4300rpms in 5th gear with a T45 would have him having 3.55 gears in the back...

Those numbers seem to be logical and the above post ,if correct......likely, makes sense to me. I take it you think the rpm's should be higher at those speeds?

I was thinking that the RPM's would be higher if he was running stock gears. I'm not saying that they don't jive, just I don't believe he was able to take that perfect of a pic at that speed. There is absolutely no light in the background.
