#482, "RE: Has anyone redlined 5th gear???" In response to In response to 14
Wheatking (Dave, president of ASOG) topped his car out on a dyno. he has a 95 w/ 5 spd. redline in 5th gear was at 162mph. even if your making 900hp, redline in 5th gear is still gonna be 162mph, power doesnt change gear ratios, just how quickly you get thru em
as for the 172, i dont doubt thats the reading he got, but i guarantee its wrong, unless he was spinning 8500+ rpms
