Default why does my lude redline 5th very fast ?

i noticed that my lude (h23) can redline all my gears and tops off at around 120-125 ,but when i had my del sol it couldnt redline 5th not even with turbo why ?

is my engine too powerful for my tranny and is there a way i could swap it out for a 6 speed tranny ?

It just has shorter gears. No your cars not to powerful for your tranny.

LMAO

Yep, that's your problem, you're making too much power. turn the boost down.

BTW, anybody know why I keep ripping condoms? Is it because my **** is so big? Do they make jumbo condoms?

if your del sol was a vtec del sol, you'd notice that you could redline 5th easily as well.

just as stated, it's just shorter gearing.

my friend has a b20z in his ek, with the del sol vtec tranny, and he can almost redline 5th, but his speedlimiter kicks in beforehand.

he cruises at ~70mph at like, 4500-5000 rpm
it's awful.
