Even you will be SHOCKED at just how different the engine is now!
Lee, welcome to the Reyland 2 litre GT-30 club
Seriously, with solid lifters and 8,200 rev limit I amazed at the flexibility of my car in 4th gear.....I'm on 3.62 diffs (it was on 3.9 riff /step-off but I did not get on with the gearing - see below)......
Cruising on motorways/dual carriageways in 4th gear (with 3.62 diffs) the car is instantly on full boost at 75 / 80 MPH and goes all the way through to 155 / 160 MPH without even hitting the rev limiter
......on a road car like mine it makes it a KILLER ONE GEAR CAR on motorways - bonus being that it's the strongest gear - so less likely to break.
Surprised many a M5 / M3 / Porsche driver with this party trick:
If I'm waiting for a slower car to move out of the outside lane, I then sneak it in to 4th.....by this time the M3/M5/Porche is very close to my bumper.......then as soon as the slower car has cleared the lane, I apply full throtle..............can pull 1/2 mile to 1 mile on them EASY before they even realised whats happening
With 3.9 final drive the gearing was "awkward" IMO - 4th being too low and 5th too high....you always wanted to be in between the gears.
Regards,
Doug.
Doug of course means Autobahns in Germany.... not UK motorways
