Yep. It is actually more however the 1/4 mile MPH is off at the track we run at and was verified through datalogging. It should be somewhere between 126 and 127.

When the weather cools here in the Fall, I will be back out shooting for the 2011+ N/A record.
just an update for auto guys that might find themselves in my posision.
I tried 3.31's & lost everywhere, plus the car felt flat to boot.
the 4.10's are back in & a stepped up tune along with a boss intake swap are done as well.
I'll have updated track times soon.
I would like to thank wbt for all of his support behind the scenes through out my decision making on this topic, I wouldn't have even bothered trying if it wasn't for his support & even though it didn't work out in my case, it may help someone else make a decision.

What do you mean lost everywhere? What are your times with the 3.31's? The 4.10's? Need a little more info and I'm not talking seat of the pants LOL.
What are your times with the 4.10's including 60ft?
^ This! More factual info please!
I call bullcrap. There's no way you are getting 25mpg with 4.10's driving 80mph at 2800 rpm. I've got the stock 3.15's and don't get that, my 2011 had 3.55's and the best I ever got was 23mpg driving 65mph. Maybe your car's calculator needs rebooting.
I have a set of 3.55's I'll be putting in soon.
410's in mine....hits hard with the stock converter just stabbing the throttle off idle launches.... 1.77 60' best to date!

That car has a lot of bolt-offs as well.
I had 3.73 and 4.10 just switched to 3.55 and by far this gear is best of both worlds for the auto. In my sig is all my mods I have not ran it at the track yet.
my best time as of now (have't run it with the new tune & boss intake yet) was posted on the first page of this thread but it was 12.10 @ 116 with a 1.85 60'.
now that summers here, the car typically runs 12.35ish @ 115 with a 1.90-1.92 60'
with the 3.31's & a tune to favor them IMO, the car went 12.56 @ 113 with a 2.09 60'.
I only made one run with them, but it was enough for me.
the car also felt flat the whole way down the track way down the track.
I have 295/45-17 et street II's, so just a tad over 27" tall or pretty much stock height, depending on how you look at it.

My 3.55's finally go in next week, can't wait. Seems to be the best all around gear. I plan on trying them with my some borrowed 28 inch slicks so maybe I can even stay in 3rd although I dont think that shift makes a huge difference.
Hey man im new to the forum, ive seen what you and wbt have written thus far on this forum, great info!
But im confused as heck with my car. I have the one first 2013 5.0 down here in Miami ( since april 4) and ive doing more exterior mods than anything. but now that I started doing mods on the engine im not running as great as when I first got the car.
Stock with 235/50/18 all season tires I ran 8.4 on 1/8, I have the slips to type later if anything.
But after Bama 93r tune, bmr lcas, 295/35/20 Nitto Invo rims my car ran 8.555!!!!!!
Are the rims too big?
Ill post up my slips tomorrow, hope on of you guys can chip in, and sorry for thread jacking
Your wheels may be heavier, but those tires aren't going to make a difference. The tune should of made a difference though. You ran at the track around April? Then again around July? Probably the heat down there in Florida, holding you back. You need drag radials.
