redline second gear??????????

i just installed my warpspeed y pipe and i took it out for a test drive and i was like wow. i told my friend that i redline second gear around 63/64 mph. he also drives a 4th gen max. he said thats all. i have a intake ypipe and catback and he just has an intake. he said he can redline 2nd gear about the same. i got really confused but i came to the conclusion it could be my knock sensor. because i know with my mods i should be faster than him.

what do you guys think. and what do u guys redline second gear at.

Its gears..you can only go so fast in that gear...it all matters how fast you can get there...the only way to push any more miles per hour our of a gear is to get a raised rev limtiter (JWT-ECU---7200 RPM limit)

Exactly what matty said.

Or change the final drive or switch to a larger diameter tire...the real final gear.
