Does anyone know what mph the gen 4's do in each gear with the stock rev limiter?
I offen take my cars to the 1/4 mile tracks, so i'm wondering what gear you are in when you're going threw the traps?
I would like to do 3.55 but want to make sure i will be able to do around 135mph in 4 gear.
i will be getting the mopar ecu that would raise the rev limiter to 6500rpm.

Thanks
Zane

Depending on the height of your rear tires, that ought to work.
My Gen2 (with 18" wheel)with 3.55's in 4th gear is 122 at limiter.
somebody will probably post a link to a gear calculator.

I finished the 1/4 in 3rd gear at 126mph

I belive the top mph in each gear for a stock 4th gen are
1st 62mph
2nd 91mph
3rd 127mph
4th 165mph
5th 202mph drag limited
6th over drive

Yes, and with the Mopar Controller my 08 finished the 1/4 mile at 129.2 in third, hitting the rev limiter at the same time.

This is the speed in each gear in an 08 with 3.55 gears and stock tires at 6500 rpm which is what the rev limiter is set at with the Mopar ECU. I ran a 10.5 second quarter mile at 100+ degrees on my second pass in the car spinning all the way thru 3rd gear!

1st 56 mph
2nd 81 mph
3rd 114 mph
4th 148 mph
5th 199 mph

Headers and ECU....It has more left but it was really hot that day and I broke the right half shaft so that was it!

1.9 60ft time and 129 mph. I do have the time slip but not here at work. I'll see if I can post it later.

This is the second thread I read that mentions breaking a rear on a Gen IV, I thought the Gen IV rear was superior to the Gen III

Just broke the half shaft it was one of the hollow ones. Dodge changed them to solid later on in production but mine was one of the first '08's off the line.
