Default What RPM in 4th gear... 135-155 mph cars

For all the cars that are trapping 135-155 mph what rpm are you crossing the line and are you remaining in 4th gear through the finish. I know that the B16 tranny and GSR tranny will be different, and also tire size will also effect this. Please post your results. I think most of the SFWD/Turbo 4 cars are running a 25" tire.

For the cars that rev 4th out to 9500-10k are you only going that high in 4th gear or do you rev 2nd and 3rd that high as well.

you want to be @ your peak power or a bit after while going through the traps(in 4th).

you can check out this gear speed calculator to aide you in what trans/final drive/ tire size you want to go with.

My JDM H22 tranny (M2B4) and 25" slicks would put me at 8300 rpm @ 135 and 9550 rpm @ 155. Best I've trapped so far is 143 mph. I take it to 9000 in every gear. Stock oil pump, stock crank pulley with accessory drive cut off (alt only).
