I was getting to 60 in second gear at the redline. I think you’ll be okay with three more gears.

The motor has no torque so it needs gear. Torque is what you feel on the butt Dino; not horsepower.

Yeah, its a balance. Its my only car and I'll drive 600 miles in a weekend so it just gets buzzy with higher gearing on the highway. Would rather add two cylinders and a 6th gear haha
