Maybe the aero drag from increased downforce is hindering it at high speeds?

Does anyone have the rear end gear / tire size for the z51 ready?
I would like to punch it into my gearing spreadsheet to see what the gearing looks like.

Thanks!

How do I post a spread sheet?...

As a pic... D'uh.





So it has a little headroom there.
I'm thinking blower, twin turbos and 4 bottles of nitrous

(this is a joke, just fyi)
