I get 30mph in first gear, I think 59 on second and 80 on 3rd gear, is that ok? I used to get 25 on 1rst 50 2nd and 70 I think on 3rd. What are you getting on yours?
what rpms are you shifting at? you should be able to do at least 82-84 mph on 3 rd gear. But for the most part that is pretty right on. You converted from sohc to dohc right manuel? that dohc gear box has good gear ratios so you should be just fine.

here are my 1/4 times in my MP3

my mods are: AEM Short Ram intake
Resonator removed and 2 inch piping from 2nd cat to muffler inlet.
19lb Rota Tarmacs 17x7.5


RT: .76
60 ft: 2.54
330 ft: 6.975
1/8 et: 10.7
1/8 mph: 65.4
1000 et: 13.95
1/4 et: 16.6
1/4 mph: 82.6 mph


i have since ran with the stock mp3 rims which weigh 24lbs and i removed the 2nd cat and 2.25 piping and i ran almost the exact same times....
so the weight increase offset the performance gain from the 2nd cat being gone

The last time I ran the Quarter mile I got a 16.04 @ 80 MPH and 1/8 mile was 10.8

Now my current 1/8 mile time is

.547
2.503
6.968
10.681
64.02

With the quicker time, I should be running a high 15 sec Quarter, being I dropped 2 tenths of a second.
