88 7 too slow?
I did a quick test tonight.
Took the car on a flat bridge and went from 80km/h to see what speed i would hit in different gears.
In third(shift to 4th at 140Km/h) i hit about 150km/h starting with 80km/h.
Starting the same speed in 4th i hit a solid 140km/h in the same distance and direction. Does it seem like im missing top end?
Im pretty sure 6 ports are opening, but the car has intermittent hesitation at 6700rpm +

umm no way
4th gear has way less pull then 3rd gear from 80km/h of course 3rd gear will get u to a higher speed faster
its not different then being stopped and doing the 0-60 in first gear and then doing the 0-60 in only second gear
the car will lag lots cause the rpms r low when they get above 4 grand the car starts to move real good
well thats what i think im pretty sure im right about it haha
