its the S model economy transmission, and its seriosuly geared stupidly long, so i'm going to shorten up the gears and put in an LSD and i'd prefer to crack the tranny open only once and do it all at the same time, i'll look into more of the 65MPH 2nd gear deal

hrmm...with the stock upgrade of the 2nd gear and final drive my theoretical 2nd gear speed at 8K RPM is 68

and what about on the road course?

and also, the way my transmission is geared, the stock 1-2 shift drops me out of my powerband, would i benefit more from getting back into that power band quicker? or being able to hold the gear longer?
