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.

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.

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. :D

 

have you decided to swap to auto or what?

shit all civics are like that...stick or auto...

 

 

 

@ about 70 or so, you will be at 3000 or so rpm in just about any civic.

 

 

just something i have noticed while owning several honduhs.

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.

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 :p
