How do the 4.77s affect gas milage?
Will they make the rear more reliable?

No, it won't make the rear any more reliable unless you cryo-treat everything when the diff is apart.
I believe Wortham said that he was about 5000 rpm at 80 mph once... I'm pretty sure he has the 4.77 gears.

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
for some reason, when i take my s to the test course, my S2000 actually gets SLOWER when i change the rear end ratio to a higher #(4.10->4.57, then to 4.77). it doesnt make any sense. so the GT3 thing mgiht not be the best bet

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.
(the above is really my lazy ass way of getting someone else to post the links to those threads)

Qucik question... i wanted to get 4.77 gears but can you change the 6th gear. Ive heard of people complain that on 6th gear that with 4.77 gears it would rev to high. since i rarely go over 120, cant i just have the stronger gears 1-5 and then have 6th with the honda factory gear. Thanks
