S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Getting F22 shortly. Stick with AP1 trans or go for AP2?

Not the best compassion when showing shorter gears. I would like to see third through 5th. I can't wait to get rid of my 4.56 gears. Way to short for my liking. I'm in 6th and at 65 I'm at 4 grand for RPMS. I'll be switching back to AP1 gears once I get back to FL.

I have an AP2 motor with an AP1 tranny and 3.91 gears, and with my power (450whp 300ft/lbs) the gears feel perfectly selected. I do make a bit more torque, so take that into account, but I sometimes have issues with traction in second gear and couldn't see having even shorter gears.

Also, if you're going to sell your old AP1 tranny, let me know!

Being Supercharged with lower more tractable trq, I went with the ap2 and would recommend the same to you since you are also sc. Plus it has carbon coated sincros so its a smoother shifter. 5/6 gear drops your cruising rpm which is nice as well. The 1-4 gears isnt dropped much, its the equivalent difference of 4.10 to 4.22 rear end ratio.
