I have heard that sixth gear doesnt do much good (drag limited). So I guess 5th gear redline would be it....96 WS6 Formula: Ram Air, 383 Stroker, Ported LT4 Heads and Manifold, 1.6 Crane Rollers, 58MM T.B., AS&M Headers, Borla Exhaust, Meziere Elec.

Top speed, with the stock 3.42 gears, was in 5th gear. 6th wasn't drag limited, it was power limited. Just couldn't pull the rpm with the .5:1 ratio.
4.10 gears would make 6th gear the top speed gear as the extra ratio would allow it to pull some more rpm.Rob
