I played on the gear calculator for a min. If you have stock diam. tires I came up with

1:1 gear tranny ratio, 3.4:1 gear ratio @ 5700 rpms = 128mph

So I'm guessing you have 3.55:1's

If you have 3.27's thats 5500 on the tack at 128 and 3.73's are 6250 on the tack at 128.

That is correct. You should be able to go higher in 4th- you should delay your shift until 6000rpm's.

Seriously, when I had stock gears, I shifted out at around 135, but I was taching about 6200-6300 rpm's.

LOL. I read that and instantly thought of what you showed your "ass" to when you stopped by on your way through.

Tread lightly, Stephen's selling his stang for a ZO6. You might end up "banned thrice".
