[QUOTE="MarcSpaz, post: 15579592, member: 183445"] Seems like you got a little too excited bud. I would dial it back a little. It's been proven over and over again that, generally speaking, cars reach their top speed in the 1:1 gear. When you put the car in an overdrive gear, again, generally speaking, the car slows down because it doesn't have enough torque or horse power to make the car accelerate or even maintain its speed. So, regardless of what the math looks like for any gear beyond the 1:1, it's not going any faster than the top speed in the 1:1 gear. This is what is very commonly referred to as "limited by gearing". Changing the rear diff gears and tire size can move those numbers around for you a bit, when when you are out of revs in 1:1, you're pretty much done. [/QUOTE]
