MPH in first gear??

[19mustang95]

what MPH does everyone get to before the limiter hits in first gear?

my car came with some mods and im thinking i might have gears. i can put the rear end up on jacks and spin the tire and look at the driveshaft to tell right? like if it goes around 3 and 3 quarter turns, i have 3:73s? :santa_undecided:

3 and a quarter turn would = 3.27

3 and a quarter turn would = 3.27

[rgs]
