The numbers above are good to use only if you're still running OE tire sizes, after that you can probably add another 5-10MPH on each one. I want to say my old car would do 35 in 1st, 65 in 2nd, 90 in 3rd, 115 in 4th, and 5th was whenever I let off.

Its all about wheel speed sensors and standalones.
Im planning on hooking one up. HWY runs are more dangerous to your bank account and driving record and your own personal life when its 330 AM then other people typically.
I have always had the personal policy of aiming for something hard and killing myself if I start to lose control than hitting some innocent person.
but yeah, depends. I’m running a 4.36 final with a sr 5 speed gear box.
Who knows how fast i'm going after _____ rpm in 4th gear for example.
Really really fast im sure.
I mean what does an E46 M3 top out at? I kind of pooped all over his investment.
When I get the wheel speed sensor iir to come back on here, ill let you know haha.
PS. the stock Nissan S13 SR Speed sensor is worthless after 128 mph or so as in drawing any sort of usable signal or speed reading.
Not sure if the s15 is better or s14 etc.
BTW I've done top speed pulls with the 3.90 LSD, the 4.10 and the 4.36.
The 3.9 was definitely longer however the 4.08/10 was better overall.
The 4.3 is nice and feels longer than I expected overall and is better for a car that sees lots of joshin-off and not just a specific straight line run.
It all depends on what your trying to do. I think the 3.5 is way too long unless you have a custom gear set and then it would be applicable for drag (using a nice gear with an auto tranny and good stall + 200 shot etc) for lots of traction etc.
Its all up to you folks im just rambling now.
