    Default How fast can you go? Calculate it

    http://www.f-body.org/gears/

    This isn't how fast you can really go, more of how fast your gears, tires, and RPMs will let you go. There are a lot of variables, wind, torque, horsepower, aerodynamics, etc.

    Wanting to change gears, maybe wanting to change to a B16 tranny, but scared of RPM change on the interstate? Calculate what your RPM will be at the speed you want.

    I've had a few, I realize. I was using it as an example, because compared to a lot of other cars, it does render a high RPM at interstate speeds.

    i have a jdm b16 in my si w/cams and i am around 4200-4600rpm running 85-90 down the interstate. at 80mph i get better gas mileage but even at 85mph id doesn't drop it noticeably.

    i know for a fact that a stock 99-00 Si will go 145mph with an intake alone on it, but it took some road to do it but it will and will stop at 6300 rpm in 5th.
    Check out my for sale threads!! 15" competition speakerbox, 1TB External hard drive, and plenty of car parts!!!
