Whats your Top speed with 4.10s?

Has anyone topped out their stang with 4.10s? whats the fastest everyone has gone and what was your RPM at?

The reason i am asking is that I ordered the gears and their in waiting for me to get back from overseaas. However, i am going to italy in september for 3 years and i am taking my car with me. What i am worried about is weather or not i will regret having them because of how they may limit my top cruising speed. I plan on cruising the autostrade quite often. :D

Anyway, i just wanted to see what the RPMs would be at higher speeds
Thanks!

your theoretical top speed at 6000 is around 166mph in 5th. and you don't have enough HP to make it there.

for cruising purposes i took these pics with my 4.1's

I don't have 4:10's but Just by looking at that last picture (80 mph at 3,200rpm), It doesn't seem like theres any way you are going to get to 150 with just 3,000 rpm left to go. I'd say around 125 top speed plus or minus a few mph , but hey im just guessing. :shrug:

brush up on your math junior.

my 4th gear wraps to 110mph, how far more will a .68 overdrive gear go beyond that?

110mph @ 6000 RPM in 4th (1:1 ratio) = (?)mph @ 6000 in 5th (.68:1 ratio)
since 6000rpm is on both sides of the = sign we can cancel them out.

110 x 1 = .68 x (mph)
anything multiplied by 1 is always it's self, so we can take that from the equation.

110 = .68 x (mph)
and to solve, get the variable alone by dividing .68 from both sides.

110 / .68 = 161.7mph

my tires are 225/50/16 slightly smaller than stock and the 6000rpm speed isn't dead nuts 110 could be between 109-111, in any case the math is correct.
