I am very interested as well.

Although I am not concerned about MPG as I have been averaging about 15 anyways.
that used to be me also considering my driving. I've since decided to relax and try to save gas.

I still can't decide between 4.44's or these for my ap2. haven't heard to many reviews to really get an idea of the 4.56's or 4.44's.

Ha ha...I have been having a hard time shifting around 4K. Most times I shift around 7K. Not that I am trying to race anybody...I just love to hear the engine.

go ahead and give yourself a redline or two. you'll notice a drastic difference. better yet, line up with another stock S2000 and wave bye bye.

You think that would be ok knowing that I haven't done the 500 mile break-in and then changed the diff fluid?

I don't want to mess-up these new gears.

FWIW i did a few runs up to redline before my "breakin" period was over. the heat cycle is the most important part of the breakin. IMO I dont think a redline or two is gonna kill anything.

I did the initial heat cycling. As a matter of fact, I did it 5 times (recommendation is 2-3 times) just to make sure.

Couldn't tell you at this point as I haven't taken the RPMs above 5K.

Yes I read that part but I figured you would have done your research on max speed in each gear etc.

No reason to get testy. I asked a simple question.

Didn't mean to come across testy...and I re-read my post and don't understand why you would think that.

Anyways, I have done the research on max speed per gear and my response is, "So what?".
