If my 3.31's top out in 4th at 6800rpm and 126~mph. What will the 3.31's top out at with the cobra jet intake manifold at 7600+rpm in 4th?


Was also thinking of swapping to 3.55 and don't want to shift into 5th at the 1/4 while still trapping 120mph+. The 3.55's top out at 117~mph in 4th at 6800rpm, what mph would they top out in 4th with cobra jet?

With a 28 inch tire at 7500 rpm you will be turning 133 with a 3.55 or 142 with a 3.31 in 4th.

124 and 133 with the same gears and a 26 inch tire.
