What MPH at the 4th gear rev limiter

If you hit ~7200 rpms in 4th gear with stock tires, how fast are you going?

(I don't want to try it to find out)

At 7200 RPM you would be going aprox 117 mph. At the rev limiter (7,600 RPM) you would be going aprox 123 mph.

How are people complaining baout being limited in drag racing? 4th seems plenty tall enough especially with 50 trim yanking the power band to 8000RPM's.

Well you really shouldn't be using 1st gear when coming to a stop. If you do then try to keep in under 15mph.

well in my IX MR i pull 4th all the way though the 1/4 mile @ the end. I traped at 105... sooo if that helps any, i didnt know the 8's had a higher trap speed than IX's...

Oh yeah i ran a 13.1 @ 105 with only full exhaust.
