I have 5 speed 98 SE w/am wheels + popcharger, everything else stock. At 80MPH i'm hitting around 3200RPM. Is that bad? good? o.O

 

bad for fuel economy, but nothing you can do about it, that seems like right around normal.

 

seems normal im usually at 2500 at 70

 

That's really bad, you should try to be at a lower RPM for that speed

 

That's normal for a 5 speed.

 

I have no Idea what mine is, but it sounds a tad high now that I think about it when expressway driving, I'll check next time Im around 80

 

shift down one gear the rpm would be higher

 

we just have a short fifth gear, that sounds about right.

 

POP Chargers make that happen everytime ...


Rpm = mph x gear ratio x 336/Tire diameter (in)

 

hhm so i guess id go faster with no wheels?

lol jk

how would you find the gear ratio though?

 

no, you're not gonna go anywhere w/out wheels...but w/2" wheels...you'd be bLaZing

Stupid 5th gear =/

 

I drive 80 all the time.

 

How to find the gear ratio --->Gear ratio = rpm x tire diameter/ Mph x 336

Or just get the real specs


1st 3.285
2nd 1.850
3rd 1.272
4th 0.954
5th .795
Final drive ratio 3.823

That's for a 5spd, obviously.

 

cool thanks.. too bad im auto :frown:
