what top speed would a 4 cyl achieve with 31"s and 4.56 gears?
i know it wont cruise at 2k rpm while doing 40, but im curious how top speed is affected by lower gears
Yeah your top speed will still be limited by wind drag, not the engine hitting redline. However it may increase some because your gear shifts will be closer together with the 4.56 rearend, together with the fact your engine will have a higher final RPM when you do top out against the wind.

You can use the Powertrax. What's needed though is to grind a bit off the tip of a ring gear tooth or 2 so you can slip the crosspin back in (this doesn't affect the gear's strength, the part you grind off the pinion never comes in contact with).
