Plug in your stuff and find out for yourself.

 

You might find a better answer on honda-tech, see if you can get someone to post a video.

 

Good info and calculator, not mainly worrying about top speed altough i know i will get more top end, but mainly worrying about the feel and rpm drop when shifting from 4th gear to 5th gear. Just don't want to do it and be disappointed.

 

damn son, i replied without really messing with that site and all the ratios. but i just did and that thing is bad ass. the calculations are true and correct, cause i carried my car to a certain high rpm _000 and was doing a certain high speed 1_ _ and the calculator was dead on. i put in the ratio of the ls fifth from a sheet i have with all my other b-16 gearings and in 5th i gained 20 mph more than the b-16 5th gear. and on a big plus it tells you what rpm you will be at at a certain cruising speed when in top gear. wow... much much respect, and big up!!! but still would like to feel how it transitions though

 

anyone with first hand experience????

 

I have/had this setup and it is nice man. Sometimes the drop is a little too much for my liking when I am trying to cruise at like 40mph in 5th so I just leave it in 4th. But on the interstate, etc. 80 cruising in 5th FTW!

 

Thanks for the input. Do you know anyone with that setup? Would like to experience the transition first hand. Like ride shotgun or something.

 

someone got it in their whip?????
