Im still waiting for mine to arrive, I ordered 4.77

I decided the 4.77 because the freeway with highest speed limit here is only 100kmh (60mph) and I can get away with 4.77 travelling 60mph

There are freeways with higher speed limits here but those are mainly interstates which I never go on to, and if I do travel interstate its less likely I use the s2000

So I guess it depends on the speedlimits on the roads that you go through assuming your car is a daily driver

 

i have an invidia so 4.77s were perfect dont have that mid 3-4 k rpm drone anymore mainly because i cruise at 4-5k now :-D

 

with 4.77 you have to shift into 5th and that shift will slow your 1/4 mile time.in the 1/4, 4.56 and 4.77 will net you the same time.just from what i read

 

it all depends on how well you shift..... the shift into 5th can be tricky to some people,

but once you get it down its really easy,

never lift to shift

It's actually 4850-4900 at 5k rpms. It's only 300 rpms above 4.57s. Gas mileage does suffer on the highway but your city mileage should be slightly better than before.

 

I must have over 200+ power shifts on my trans, all gears...... the thing still shifts like butter.

you just cant make a mistake like you said.

 

so if i drive around on the frwy in 5th gear......... that would be like 6th gear with 4.77's?

 

the tranny isn't the weak link, your diff will be the issue.

 

with my ap2 i would have to shift into 5th right before the trap anyways so ill just be shifting into 5th sooner. i dont think that i'll get the same time as someone with 4.56/7
