Ill be taking my s2k to the drag strip to run a 1320 soon. Well, April. I didnt run when it was without the gears, but that is my only performance mod at the moment besides exhaust. Although, by April I will have more parts on the car.

all of these questions i.e. quarter mile time (Italian Buckwheat said he was getting in 13s..I think), differences between 4.77 and 4.57, etc have all been answered in previous threads. This topic has been debated for a while now.

How do the 4.77s affect gas milage?

Will they make the rear more reliable?

There is a book called Race Car Engineering by Paul Van Valkenburg that, unlike most answers in S2000 Talk, will actually give you accurate information about how gearing changes affect cars, and how to choose optimum gearing.

Here's how to find out the rpm with 4.77 gears at 80 mph. For those with a PS2 and GT3, buy a S2000 and the full racing transmission. Change the final drive to 4.77. Go to the test course. Go up to 80 mph and check your tach
