Default B16 Gearing Question..

Does anyone know how fast a stock B16 tansmission will let the car go in 4th gear at 8900 rpms on 22" slicks. I'm just trying to make sure that I don't need bigger slicks to het into the 10's. Obviously, shifting into 5th isn't going to work...

I have a program that can tell you how fast a b16 tranny or any tranny will get you. First you have to know all the gear ratios and what tire size ETC alot of variables in this formula i have.
