I wasnt quite sure where to put this but i figure it has a bit to do with gear ratios. My question is hard to word, but i will try my best.
Lets say there are two cars..
a 1g turbo with a 60-1 turbo
and a 1g turbo with a 14b.
Will both these cars be at the same mph when they shift into 4th gear? Or will the 60-1 be at a lower mph when they shift?
I am getting at this because last gear when i was running 12.8 at 111mph i believe i was hitting 4th gear at the very end of the 1/4 mile..
Now i took my car out with a 60-1 and i am not even near 110mph when i shift to 4th. This sound normal?

Will a car with a bigger turbo be in a higher gear to get to lets say 110mph? Thanks
 
As long as you have enough power to redline the car in 3rd gear then you should be at the same speed at the top of the gear with both turbos.
