Hey all,
Just wondering whats your diff ratio is and at what speed do you top out on every gear. Also do you know if your speedo is accurate?? I got a 3.27 single spinner topped out 1st about 60, 2nd about 95, 3rd is around 140ish i've never really checked it. After painting needles i get 1st--> 52-54, 2nd--> bout 88-90 anyone that has checked my "Brightening Dash" thread would know i've painted my needles and hence they weigh a little more hence reading low. i was wondering if the new figures were accurate or not. Thanks Steve

Firstly
What RPM are you doing at 100klms (4 for man or 3 for Auto)? This is the best comparison. Forget speed at gear change.

I've got a 3.27 LSD and it does about 1850 rpm at 100km/h. This is with a 4 speed auto. Hope this helps.
