as for the 4.30s being for a track focused car, i disagree. mine's a daily driver, and it'll be a while till I max out these gears with 120 mph traps...

Ya I knew the taller tire helps, i just didnt know how much an inch does. Or how Tall our tires are from ford. I know top of 4th is where you want to be, so instead of checkng out what mph top of 5th what they did. (because they were checking the topend lose) i checked out 4th. You fixed up what i wanted to say about 4.30s and 4.56s being more of a non power adder gear. I didnt mean you cant daily a car with 4.30s i checked out 5th gear at a bunch of different mphs to show more rpms. But i did make it sound like that, sorry.
