Well my car still has the stock rear end of 3:31 and I have only ran the car on country roads for 1/4 using a G tech monitor. But my car shifts into 4th at the 1/4 mile mark. So I think my rpm would only be around 3500-4000 at that point.

I'd especially would like to hear from anyone who is running with 4:10 gears. What is your max. rpms is each gear 1st-5th.
Thanks,
Robert

Hey Darrell, I've been around- just busy. Going out of town this afternoon- actually heading up to Robert's state of Michigan.
Robert I have 4.10s with the manual trans. I don't go to redline in 5th but I've been to 6500 rpm in fourth which is around 120 mph. I have not gone that high since I installed the shaft. I have gone to ~6200 in 2nd, and 3rd gear with the shaft.

So do you consider 6500 to be redline for your engine? Also when doing the 1/4 mile you never get out of 4th gear correct? Where are you going in Michigan today?

yes I consider it to be 6500. In the 1/4 mile, I'm almost right at 6500 in 4th gear when I cross the line- my last time slip was 118mph. I am going to Grand Rapids to visit a potential customer.

Enjoy your day in Michigan. Watch out for potholes and carjackers, both are rampant in our state.
