top speed w/ 4.56s, 5th gear @ 6771 rpm = 183 mph

Auto
.70 ratio, 80mph, at X.XX:1 rear gear ratio

3.55 = 2602 rpm
3.73 = 2733 rpm
4.10 = 3005 rpm
4.30 = 3151 rpm
4.56 = 3342 rpm

top speed w/ 3.55, @ 5789 rpm = 178 mph
top speed w/ 3.73, @ 5775 rpm = 169 mph
top speed w/ 4.10, @ 5784 rpm = 154 mph
top speed w/ 4.30, @ 5791 rpm = 147 mph
top speed w/ 4.56, @ 5765 rpm = 138 mph
Awesome information! I have been looking for this because I am considering a gear change for my automatic. BUT I like top speed.

The rev-limiter is set to 6250 on automatics, so that's where we need to calculate top speed. Can you re-calculate for us?

Actually, 5800RPM is ok for 1'st, 2'nd, 3'rd, if you let the trans shift automatically, but 4'th will go all the way to 6250RPM.
