I was at beginning of redline. I did that when Steve and I were doing a 4th gear pull for tuning. Scared me bad. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

For me my gearing was like this.



1st -- 36mph

2nd -- 70mph

3rd -- 105mph

4th -- 144mph

5th -- 182mph



These are all estimates since I can't really remember but I know it is close to this. I shift into 4th right before the 1000' mark and cross the 1/4 around 114ish last time I was there with my twins.

heres why i ask. whenever i drag race i shift into 4th almost at the end of the track and just wanted to know if that was right.i believe in 3rd i top out around 80...does this sound weird?

If you're doing any drag racing, it will probably be worth your time to do this: Get the diameter of your rear tires with a tape measure, then multiply by Pi and divide by 12 to get the circumference in feet. Your speed in any gear at any given RPM can be calculated by the following formula:



MPH = RPM * gear ratio / rear axle ratio * tire circumference in feet * 60 / 5280



My T2 is about redlined at 90 mph in 3rd with 24.5" diameter tires.
