FYI/question to the SOHC guys....

Post by Shady469 »

i just want to know how fast/quick you guys are and your gear vs. mph.<BR>i ran a 10.9 in the 1/8th,and can't catch second for the life of me, probly due to worn clutch and 17's.<BR>1st gear i can get to 30 pretty quickly<BR>2nd 50 quickly 55 when i shift to 3rd<BR>3rd 78 but 70-78 takes forever<BR>and 4th gear seems to stop at like 5,000 rpms and 85 mph; it just wont move after that and 5th seems to pull better that forth after like 3,500rpm.<BR>this is shifting right at redline (6,300ish)<P>i've got a B6T project underway, but it surprises me that the car runs as well as i does now. ive had a couple honda guys who rode with me convinced i had a DOHC b/c of how it pulled.

mine is auto and with my mods i can feel a really good pull from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd it goes a little slower, 3rd to 4th is only a good pull if i floor it moderately.
