what RPMs are you at around 80 in 4th?
the 4.44 gears won't really affect the top end of the SVX because we are electronically limited before our gearing and horsepower will limit us right? and the 4.44 gears are better for acceleration around town and such? |

if there is a limiter its after 140mph

at 110 am around 3800, 80 is a bit above 3000. obdII cars a limited to 140. 92 cars are not. I, however, do not have the testicular fortitude to try and break any land speed records in my car.

but yeah the 4.44s wont affect max speed. i had a friend plug in the gear ratios into a computer program he has, top speed is (in theory) 158.78mph. the origional gears rendered a max speed well above 200. having driven the car for the past 8-9 hours i would have to say that the 4.44s are better suited to the car. it feels agile and lighter. 100 mph comes up quick if your used to the stock gears.
im going to replace my getho rigged tranny filter with a subaru one the next time its in the shop and have a cooler installed. i would have had tom do it but subaru parts take forever to get in and this was the last week i could pick up the car (school stars tuesday ) |
