Guest Removed Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 but with a turbo or spray you'll want 3.55's or maybe even lower. or run a taller tire..i like running a 27" tire over 26's any day..but would rather have 28's. 4.30 gear with a 28" tire, = 5200 across the traps in 4th if i remember right on one of my old n/a cars.

Guest Removed Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 it can't be that bad in 4th on the hwy w/ stock gears....and you'll never used 4th or 5th at the strip, at least with stock gears, now like 4:56's and a tire maybe 4th... it dont feel like a stock gear at all.

Bam Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 freeway 65mph in 4th was above 2k I thought rob said it might have a 373 om not sure shit 2k ain't nothing...much less and you'll be chuggin along. my civic is at 3k at 70mph and its an auto, lol, still gets 35mpg tho. have you decided to swap to auto or what?

OGRE Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) freeway 65mph in 4th was above 2k I thought rob said it might have a 373 om not sure not with 2k in 4th, 3.73 would be spinning about 2100-2200 in 5th with a t-5 tranny you should be able to drive about 58 mph in 3rd gear and the RPM will equal your gear ratio.

Guest Removed Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 not with 2k in 4th, 3.73 would be spinning about 2100-2200 in 5th with what tire size? and who even said his speedo was correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 anywhere near stock, i'm pretty sure he's not running 31" drag slicks. even 2.73 gear is around 2300-ish in 4th at 65. if the speedo isn't right, he should just jack the thing up and count driveshaft rotaions:wheel rotaion. one edit, shouldnt' u be working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
