With a 3.55 gear (actually its a 3.54 that is available I think) 4th gear will be good until 132 mph, so you wouldn't need to hit 5th unless your car is making some serious power. (Like upwards of 650 to the wheels)

Big Jim is correct.......interesting demographic on gears.
3.45 is the dragracer gear of choice in TX! Seems l0ocal there! And the shift-interval between 3.55 and 3.45 does not matter til you are in the low 11s as Jim says......
For overall street performance, and widely available STRONG Dana-Spicer gears, go w/ 3.55. Pushes you back in the seat more than 3.45. The speedo kit is a snap as well. We sell em Relatively cheap, and we PRE-CALIBRATE it for you when you get your gears from PartsRack.........
