Hey IB, this was not my intention
Hey I Know. Sometimes I get crazy ideas ...like reinventing the wheel......I swear the s2000 would be faster with triangle wheels instead of circle ones.........lol..... I like to post what would be awesome if true...you post what is true...Thats why so many love your posts x-viper....I know if i see your post in a long line of other posts i make sure to read yours. Plus anyone that uses no power tools when tackeling big jobs....I.E. Gear change is an old school forearm god!

I plan on going s/c in about a year or so i think the 4.77 would be too high.

would the 4.77's drop you out of vtec on the 1-2 shift? Like the GTS?

A change in the rear end ratio would not change the way the tranny gears are spaced. It is the tranny gear spacing that determines what your engine speed would be after a gearshift.
To do what you are worried about, you would have to put in a new 1st or 2nd gear that would put a different spacing between those two.

P.S.
4.11 -> 4.77 = 16%
240 X 116% = 278!
