i would suggest that if you are racing on the highway...its very important to know what gear you can go into to get the most power... when i was stock with stock gears, i could go into 2nd gear at about 55 mph. but if you do this then you better be ready to shift quickly to 3rd. i shift daily driving at about 2000 rpms. if you go to the strip and you dont have drag radials or slicks its almost pointless to bring the rpms up past 2000 b/c if you do then all you'll do is spin the tires. have a good time driving, and remember it seems easier to spin the tires when you have a 5 speed cause you can play with the clutch, it doesnt mean youre going faster, it just means your going through tires faster!!!!
