When you are in 5th you are not gaining much speed quickly. There for you will get the motor so hot it will melt a piston. When i had my LS tranny with my gearing the car would be capable of 170+. The problem is i could never reach that speed without breaking something. You dont want to race in 5th gear just trust me on this one or you will find out the hard way.

You will melt something. I ran smoore(yellow nsx) all the way through 4th and put it into 5th for about 10 seconds just to see if i would pull. The most i got to was 150mph. That being said i know you would blow your motor trying this. When you are all motor you can keep your foot on the floor in 5th as long as you want to and you will be fine. Turbo='s HEAT. Good kill but dont try and top it out.

I see what hes saying but for some odd reason (most likely the gearing of the type r tranny) I still pull hard in 5th gear all the way to about 155-160...... But regardless Im taking his advice, and also due to the fact its not really safe or legal going that fast, I probably wont be doing that anymore
