[QUOTE="Paul., post: 15226186, member: 156070"] So doing some math with a simple online calculator, here's what I came up with. This is really for illustrative purposes only. 3.08 gear 192 mph 28" tire 1.00 5th gear = 7096 rpms 2.73 gear 192 mph 28" tire 1.32 4th gear = 8303 rpms It appears that staying in fourth gear probably isn't going to be a reality at those kind of speeds without other changes. Using the 2.73 gear and 5th gear, you have: 2.73 gear 192 mph 28" tire 1.00 5th gear = 6290 rpm. That may give you the extra "room" you need to get north of 200 mph, assuming you're in the sweet spot in terms of torque production vs the aero drag. Paul. [/QUOTE]
