blubullitt, where exactly is the corral calculator. I tried going to
http://www.corral.net and
http://www.mustangcorral.com and I had no luck finding the calculator.
As far as what I'm looking for: I want a top end that is still be respectable. I think a top speed of 108 would be hard for me to accept. Do you have any idea what the top speed of 3.73 would be and at what rpm's(or can you point me to that calculator).
Thanks

it is in the technical features section.
given the numbers from the calculator you get these figures.
using the tremec trans in 5th gear, @6000rpm with the STOCK gear you top speed will be 225.
using the 3:73's same trans, and all you top speed will be 225.
using the 4:10's, same info as before, your top speed will be 169.
there is no way possible our cars can go 225 stock, so given wind and other factors, the bullitt has been clocked around 150. I subtracted 150 from 225 and come up with 75. this is the amount that is lost.
the 3:73's have the same amount as the stock gears.
However when using the same math the the 4:10's your new top speed will only be 94 mph.
Now given that Einstein did not do the math here, and i can not vouch for real world proof of these numbers. I can how ever use this as a guage to know that the 4:10's will drastically reduce your top end.
People are even saying that the 4:10's will inprove you top speed, i doubt it.
