how much top speed do u lose
Im asking if anyone knows how much top speed do u lose when you change ur final gear to a 4.57 or a 4.77. I want to help out my off the line start as much as possible with out killing alot of my high speed. I dont want to do a 4.77 and top speed only be 100mph. My S just blew the diff. and looking to change the gear while im in there. I have a sc and is putting 340hp to wheels. This info would be greatly aprecated.

No, I have a 4.57 final gear and I have run 150 MPH. It runs 144 at 7700RPMS. And I have a Comptech SC.

I agree with the guys that mentioned "how many times are you gonna go past 140?" Personally I've only tapped into 150 a couple times but will probably not do that anymore. True some may believe i'm a maniac but that's alright. To each their own.
I'm going to be putting the 4.57 gears into my car because I feel it needs it down low and chances are i'm mostly going to be taking the car up to 80-90mps max. Because seriously who really drives their car past 130mph on a regular basis?
