[QUOTE]Originally posted by FivePTSlow: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by adower: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by FivePTSlow: [qb] Had a quick race with a guy on a CBR 600 yesterday. He was blown away when I pulled away from him lol. He started off at a low RPM, so he wasn't in his peak powerband when he hit it, but still I thought it was funny. He came up after and was like "damn that thing sounds crazy" then kept riding. I started off in 2nd gear @3200rpm while already in motion and could only go like 3/4 throttle to keep traction. Went up to about 5800 rpm roughly 55mph. [/qb][/QUOTE]You raced someone for 1/2 a gear? [/qb][/QUOTE]It was that, or crash into the stopped traffic at the next light, so yeah. I'm running a world class t5 with 3.27's(somewhat long gears) so the race was from approx 25-55mph. As I mentioned above not the biggest victory in the history of the world, but it was my first taste for the power potential of my new engine. I've been staying out of boost and not getting on it at all up until then. My gearing is very linear 1st ~0-30mph 2nd ~30-60 3rd ~60-90 4th ~90-120 5th ~120-No clue yet [/QB][/QUOTE]
