Actually those gears are good for bottom end, not top end. The 4.11 and 4.44 would launch your car off the line faster, but your top speed would suffer. The stock gearing allows you to do 90MPH at 3,000 RPM's whereas the 4.11 and 4.44 would only put you in the 70-80 MPH range......less MPH per RPM. With an RPM limiter, you need the most MPH you can get per RPM.

From what I understand, an SVX with no limiters "should" go 195 MPH at redline. I've had mine up to 135 with no problems. Felt very solid.
