what ever you want is going to be the best. do you want fuel economy, performance, topend, acceleration, or a mix of all of them

Usually find these calculators in honda/hybrid sect.

Get a Gear-X 4.7 FD. You'll net 10% more power in every gear, it'll work out to (for an Si/EX box) approx ITR gearing 1-4th and the 5th gear will be a hair lower than an ITR 5th. Hit up Mista Bone over one, I dunno if he's in any position to give much if any of a price break but if you're going to buy one you should go through someone who supports HMT.

I've got a ZC/Si gearbox in my beater (ITR-like 1-4th with stock Si 5th) and I have to say it's ------- sweet. It'd love some boost.

Gear-X I can get checper than retail, but you have to atleast explain your full goals.

Topend

Y7 tranny that I built for a 350 whp Del Sol for ECTA runs at Maxon, it'll do about 160 in 4th gear.......that is top end!

Yep, window shoppers.

Waste your time trying to help some of them, then they admit they don't have the money and want it halfassed put together.




WAIT, this is HMT, its all halfassed!
