4th is your overdrive gear im pretty sure so its a 1 to 1 gear ratio so it should be weaker.

well, your asking for a nice 4th gear on a car that has about 130whp give or take. 4th gear isnt going to be that great man. throw a 50 shot on it if you want some more kick.

Are you in an auto or standard?
my third will run me up to the 90'ish area. (07 with a standard)

Can't really say much about 4th. The fastest I've ever gone is winding out third at the track. However, it doesn't really help that the 2.2 falls on its face past 5500 rpm's.
