Are these better than 4.57/4.77?

Only if you are looking to go about 210mph, the lower the number on the gear the higher your top speed but usually the slower your acceleration(unless you have something like 400+whp). With the stock 4.10 is about 180mph at redline, at 4.56 top speed is about 160 and at 4.77 its about 155mph. But with a 3.63 gear its almost a 210mph top speed(provided you had the power to get your car to redline in 6th gear)

How much power do you need to be able to get up that high, quickly that is, realisticly speaking?
