What is your rpm at 60mph with those?

Im unsure of waht it runs at 60mph, but at 75-80 its about 2500 rpm

So Its bit higher than stock, but the power is very very nice. Mine tows a trailer very regularly and it tows it soooo much nicer than stock cant even tell its back there unless I really punch it.

But I would not recomend 4.56's to anyone that will run a stock tire size, I had to run that for about 3 months becasue I dident have the money to get the tires and it sucks!!!! the tranny hated it, it wouldent kick down over 60 mph and the shift points were all goofy. Now that I got the 33's on there I love the gears tons of power and will be able to handle bigger tires with no problem.

I tried my 60-120 time on I-20 in georgia today just outside Atlanta and I almost flattened a little honda civic that pulled out in front of me. I was almost there and then I had to slam on the brakes. The truck really works to get up to 120.. to get it there it has to be in od and at about 3000rpm. I don't want to imagine the ammount of gas that v10 is sucking... i think i can hear it. oh yeah when im going 60 and i stomp it it shifts up to 3rd and gets up over 100 in about 5-10 secs then the accel slows down some because of all the wind resistence.

I would never need to go faster than 90 in my truck.

depending on your tires... most truck tires are not rated to go more than 90mph! I work on an asphalt crew and this past summer i got stuck working the grave yard shift... 3 days left on the project and 2 kids in their mustang smashed into the back of a semi doing 145mph! both died on the spot.... but until you see something like this happen ... and you have to use a water truck to wash the blood off the road so you can finishing paving... you would never even think about doing more than 90mph.... SLOW DOWN!
I hope you don't learn the hard way!
