Great mod "Dee" I knew that something could be done with the gearing. What does your gas consumption look like? Did you get a chance to get any numbers on your quarter mile times? I also sent you a PM.

Yes, lower final gearing will decrease top speed.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't these cars speed limited by the computer? If that's true, the car still would be capable of going 149, just at a consideribly higher RPM.
