LOL. It's a race car build. Leaving it stock would defeat the whole purpose.

Don't you want to see what this car is really capable of around a track?

GO FOR IT!

I've got my car half way gutted... and it is DEFINITELY faster... I think that will show at the track this weekend... it is a short 1.1 mile track with like 15 cars on at once so plenty of opportunity for passing... will have video up this weekend

Short tracks+light cars=fun! It's always fun to piss off the higher whp cars and the short tracks.

Yes, stock gears, gearbox, and ring/pinion. The OEM Nissan stuff has proven race worth, so no plans to upgrade.

Sorry, my question was not one of reliability, rather it was in regards to the final drive ratio. How often do you top out 5th gear? And if you ever do, can you actually accelerate in 6th gear at those speeds?

You will definately use 6th gear at many tracks, and there is acceleration capability in 6th in problem at all.

Really depends on the track, as to how often you will use 6th gear.

Does that answer your question?

t-ray · 08-10-2009, 04:37 PM

Yes, thanks. I know it's probably a newb question, but I've never taken anything over ~120mph.

At your target hp levels, at that weight, that car is going to be major fun. But I bet if would be even moreso with 3.9's or 4.0's in there.
