What is your favorite combo.
I need to stay in the 4500-6500rpm powerband. I can tach out at 7-7300rpm on the limiter. I have a spare trans I can build up now and then install... whenever. KT |

how can you hit the rev limiter in 2nd (at 7000 no less), upshift to 3rd and be below the "sweet spot" ??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) your engine would have to drop 3k rpm or more between gears for this to be true ... a 1k rpm drop between shifts already seems to much (see my previous post), again, after upshifting, you want to be close to peak torque in the new gear ... i dunno where peak torque is on your motor (do you?) but you'll have to find out before you even consider any gearing changes for your tranny. that is, of course, just my humble opinion ...
