hmmm, fuel injection vs carb?

My carbs are pushing out 150bhp/litre with a likely 30+ mpg.

Probably a first gear that tops out a 70mph in the race car.

gears for the rx7 are

1st 2.350

2nd 1.608

3rd 1.240

4th 1.000

5th either .881 or .839

they list a 5.67 rear gear but i dunno if thats actually in it for the test

rims are 16x10 and 16x12

rx8 is

1st 3.76

2nd 2.27

3rd 1.65

4th 1.19

5th 1.0

6th .84

with a 4.44 rear and 245/45/18's

gearing is pretty close?

and actually in the rx8@ 9500 rpms second is like 60-70 mph
