5th gear is overrated. Dont need it. If you want to prolong your gearbox life stick with 3:27’s. Wont have to constantly row the gears and it’ll allow you to be a Lot Smoother on track.

That's what I've run...... with success. A number of guys are going to 3.90/4.10 and between the lack of 4.6 torque, and the gear I'm getting pulled out of the corners. The lack of shifting has allowed me to stay competitive. Now we may end up on a track hitting 150mph and the 4.6/T45 combo isn't going to get there!
I don’t think you’ll see any of the CMC cars hit 150 at Daytona. It’s not nec a gearing problem but an aero problem. Which ever car is the most streamline in the air is going to reach optimal TopSpeed regardless of gear assuming you’re not hitting the rev limit ha ha. Usually in Daytona they make you go through a small cut off halfway down the straight away to limit the top speed of the cars in the race but I don’t know how NASA will run it.
