Off the line sure. But once it's moving above 4200, a whole new world. Especially with a 75 shot of Nitrous. Shift points 55, 95, 125. Never make it to 4th gear.

We use ours at the track with forced induction and a 4.77 rear gear, I would say fairly apples to apples here. The gears are too tall. IMO it needs another 150hp to consider the gearing "good". YMMV.
