350Z here. Top of fourth gear. I doubt if I can push fourth much more than 103.3 MPH.

Top of fourth gear?

Fourth should be good to about 112mph. So unless you've got a power adder like a turbo or NOS, you aren't in top of fourth gear at the end of the 1/4.

Beginning of fourth gear here too.

I am not sure where the beginning of fourth gear is? 2,000, 3,000 or 4,000 RPM? So you cross the quarter mile line at about 100 MPH and 4,000 RPM in fourth gear. Which means that you have about 2,500 RPM left until redline.

I am near redline in fourth gear. Either my car is weird or you guys are pulling my leg.

If your not into 4th your doing something wrong. If you know what most Z's trapped -->98-103mph, and you knew your owns cars max speed in each gear, you wouldnt have asked such a newb question. 88mph is max in 3rd, if you finish in 3rd you might have palsy.

How are you guys pulling such crazy mphs in 4th gear. I would give my 4th up to 110mph max. I dont think I could ever come close to 120mph. Is that in a 05+ perhaps!

If you run a stock rear diameter tire of 25.8-26.2" you dont, its 112mph hitting limiter at stock redline, I see you have a UTEC, likely raised the limiter. If you didnt and you still claim 120mph in 4th, you may have some incorrectly sized rear wheels/tires and thats whats causing your BS numbers Revups reach around 120mph because of the extra 400rpm's...

So, 3.90's will actually increase the 1/4 mile speed by allowing the car to go farther into 4th or maybe even 5th....

I hit the limiter in 4th at around 120 on the dyno. Not sure if the dyno gives an accurate resistance for accurate speedometer readings or not.
