Mph in each gear

[Sgtmeatsauce1]

2013 PP SHO
I was wondering what the Max mph was through the six gears under full wot in a stock vehicle.

Next I wonder what the max mph in each gear is with a Unleashed or Livernois tune only.

Any ideas?

From 2010 SHO road test in Car & Driver:

1st: 36
2nd: 56
3rd: 87
4th: 114
5th: 133 (5100 rpm)
6th: 133 (3800 rpm)

These are at 6200 RPM except in 5th and 6th. The stock car is governor limited to 133. When tuned, the top speed limiter is removed so the top speed would be much higher in 5th and 6th. The rev limiter should be kept in place so the speeds in 1st through 4th will be the same.

Perfect thank you!

Would it be much different with the PP and it's 3.17 gears, 245/45/20, which I have....

And what tire size is that assuming?

The numbers I provided from the Car & Driver road test are for a PP car with 3.16 gears and 20" wheels. I have an MKS with the 2.77 gear and the speeds in 1-3 are about 5-7 mph higher. I have never gone maximum speed in 4-6.

If I input everything correctly, this is what I got for a Non-PP SHO ...

That must be correct but I thought the shift out of 2nd to 3rd at 6200 was around 62-64 instead of 67 but perhaps my tire size or speedometer does not quite match up to the chart above. Or maybe it is accelerating so fast, I just mis-read the speedometer. I know mine shifts into 4th before the end of the quarter and my trap speed in the 108 range so the 104 in 3rd looks right.
