With an M28, you'd be running 15.32:1 overall in 1st gear. With his 2.66 1st gear, he'd have to run the equivalent of a "5.76" rear axle ratio to have the same overall ratio. Something sounds odd. Are you running 30+" slicks? And of course, all the gears in your 93 tranny are different than the later years, inclucing both O/D's so it wouldn't seem reasonable to directly compare results.

I agree.
It's a poor idea with 26" tires....I wouldn't even do it with 28" tires.
You'll be shifting into 2nd well before the end of the 60-foot.
At 6000 rpm you top out at 102 mph with 26" tires in 4th gear.
At 6000 rpm you top out at 110 mph with 28" tires in 4th gear.
Not a great idea.

Lol who cares what speed and rpm he will be running at. Stock 10 bolt + 4.56's + M6 + hard launch on street tires = BOOOM!!! no more mph at any rpm. Don't bother.
