4500RPM in 6th, what speed? Ok a few weeks ago on the way home I decided to see what she would do. I started at about 70mph and dropped it into 3rd. About little under half of a mile later my harlan flashed at the top of 5th and I shifted into 6th and took 6th maybe another 750RPM.
Last attempt at doing this with the little road straight aways here in hawaii I only made it to the top of 5th, I know this sounds stupid but I ran home and popped Gran Turismo into the PS2 and copied each individual gear ratio in the M6 from a Road@Track article on a M6 firehawk and set the final or rear end ratio to 3.73:1 as the same in moser 12 bolt.
Well I came up with 165 that time, but am unsure if this is accurate. So I was hoping that someone knew of the speed I was at or could direct me to a site where they do gear ratio/speed conversions, I think I seen a post a year ago and there is an actual site devoted to this.
Oh and the car was still pulling stong, just ran out of road. Im making 500rwhp/445rwtq with the Vortech 9# kit, thunder cam, MAC mid length w/ORP and LS1 edit tuning.

Re: 4500RPM in 6th, what speed? Hey Kyle, yeah I went to court a couple weeks ago and I got a good lawyer. I showed up in my Army dress uniform so I guess I looked like a good soldier etc in the prosecutors eyes.
They basically dropped the wreckless driving and turned the street racing into a speeding violation. Well it worked out well and I actually got money back from my original bail bond as I had to pay a $100. fine and that was it.
But your not gonna believe that I got a busted again, I was coming home at like 230 in the morning on a weeknight when a LS1 camaro was running a speed trap.
So I thought, I have court coming up in a few weeks this isnt gonna look good. So I dropped the hammer and took off. Put a good gap on him, I tried to duck into a parking lot at the end of a straight away and I guess he caught sight of me as he was at the beginning of the straight as I was at the end.
So now I have another wreckless driving and speeding to fight, the cop turned out to be my old neighbor and kindly didnt arrest me this time.
Yeah Im a maniac, since then Ive had my hayabusa up to 190mph twice. Hahahaha, Im gonna end up dead or in prison if I keep this up.

Re: 4500RPM in 6th, what speed? Hey Kyle, so good choice with the ATI. Did you know that I got kicked out of EFI? Yeah oh well, I liked the cars but it was getting kinda old anyways. I wish they did more than get together and cruise.
Well I bought a 99 Hayabusa and it is the ****! I managed a 10.4@138mph with a weak 2.0 60ft! Can you imagine what the bike is gonna do with a 1.7 60 ft?
Heres a pic...

Re: 4500RPM in 6th, what speed? Holy ****! Im unsure of the tire size diameter of the 315/35/17s but I picked 26" and computed with 6th gear being at .515 and came up with 181 mph at 4500rpm!
