At top speed I was pegged at 7200rpm's. 4:10's might make 6th gear useful but I wonder if I would run out of RPM's before reaching top speed with them.
I'm with Pete on this one. If I had $1,500 to burn on performance mods I go with the ones that are actually going to create more HP. Because more HP is just more. And with 3.45 your going to see gains in every way. Launch and top end. Id rather have the overall increase than one or the other.
It's ok to disagree,Rick. Like I said earlier,different strokes for different folks.
I've been over 175mph too many times to count in my 90 ZR-1 while it still had 3.45's,,way over. Been over 200mph more than a few times too,on some of my turbo/nitrous prostreet bikes.
This is my 3rd ZR-1 so I've been around the block a few times,so to speak.

Our 94 came with 4.10's when I bought it,a free mod.

BTW,good to see you posting again. Welcome back.
