Thumbs up Final Gear Top Speed

Hi guys,

I am in the process now for changing my final gear and have my differential reinforced by Comptech.
However, I have a big dilemma of which gear set to choose from (4.3 or 4.57)
My major concern is how much each of the above gears will reduce the top speed.

I know that with the stock 4.1 final gear the top speed is about 285 kmh or 177 mph.
Does anybody know what the top speed will be with 4.3 and 4.57 final gears?

Thanks

Try this to figure out speeds in each gear:

4.3 = 157.7 mph
4.57 = 148.4 mph

Do you often travel at or above 120mph?

Never before I had gears, and never since.
