What's your speed @ 4K rpm?

Post by fowljesse »

So Mooneggs asked what MPH I was at @ 4,000 RPM because he wondered what the difference was between my K8 tranny, and his 626 is. Mine is at 79, and his is at 82. Maybe our speedos are off, or something. We both have stock 15" wheels. So, what's your speed at 4K, and what gears do you have?

Ah, you may be right I forgot I put a new tranny in my probe last summer with the ze. It might be out of something newer.

No matter if you have a K8, KF or KL, your RPM's will not change because of the motor. It'll change cause you've either got a different ratio tranny, or you've changed the size of your tires

Mx-3 & Probe : 4.38:1
626 & Mx-6: 4.11:1

Myself, with my K8 tranny, regardless of K8 or ZE motor, i do about 120km/h @ 4000rpms
