I got 4.77 waiting to get put in my AP2. Waiting on couple parts before I actually get them install. But I have no other supportting mods. I did some weight reduction as in carbon fiber bucket seats, and completely removed my entire soft top unit.

I never said 4.77 wouldnt work. I just said youd be going through more gas if you drive the HWY a lot, and that you would be sitting wasting a lot of RPMs, with a lower top speed as well. Never said it wouldnt work, just isnt practical IMO.
Why was Kayvan banned? Lol

another option would be an AP2 tranny + 4.4gears.
1st to 4th gear would be geared close to 4.7, 5 and 6 gear will be geared 4.4

exactly...this is why i'm choosing the 4.44's for my 04 tranny. I think the 4.57's are great for the ap1 tranny. I can't see myself driving with 4.77's in my tranny. Would be amazing acceleration, but not worth it in my opinion unless your going all out race.

I just installed my rare piece, and HOLY SHIT!!!!! This mod goes extremely well with my other parts. I was lucky to find it, although I bought it off of someone I had met before. Midrange has improved very well, but the biggest gains are felt up top. The exhaust note has changed just a bit, and sounds even closer to a indy car in vtec. I can't wait to dyno in two weeks, I defenitly feel I have already hit the 230whp mark.

If you wondering what the part is well it's what everyone wants over the J's or Toda header....that's right!!!!! Hytech Header is here(sorry I'm just very excited right now).

My new current list of power mods include.
AEM V2(I'm actually in the process of designing a custom intake )
Hytech Header
Custom 3 inch Exhaust
Test Pipe
Toda flywheel
Hondata Gasket
Ground Wires(ok so there good for maybe 1hp )

ganna go out for some test runs. can't wait to dyno this beast.
