How can you with stick gear get 130 mph? Gear is gear and tops out at the same point?

Not sure what you're asking here?How can you with stick gear get 130 mph? Gear is gear and tops out at the same point?
Stock*
I know tunes and clutching help but doesn't a gear shift out and end at the same? Or reflashing alone will increase top end?

I read about dragy it does measure speed, does it do the distances? It didn’t explain well . Great price and small?Dragy is much cheaper, just as accurate, and easier to use.

You are right, especially with the lower gearing like 24/50. But if conditions are not ideal, the stocker may not get there while the tuned sled probably will.Stock*

Also, when it comes to top speed the tuned sled is more likely to rev past its power peak(once the clutches are fully shifted) and tap the limiter more so than the stocker. I'm not advocating doing this on a regular basis, I'm just saying that it can.

Does everything, ET, speed, 0-60 times and everything the V-Box or TD gauge does at a fraction of the cost and much simpler to use.

Top speed is based on gear ratio and rpm, Spin it up over 9000 and you can do 130 on stock gears. Just need conditions and power.How can you with stick gear get 130 mph? Gear is gear and tops out at the same point?
