As do I, 9000 in every gear. The 8 tends to float after 135. Your MT sucks ATs rule (in this forum). How can Taj tolerate a MT fanboy??

yeah, rev limit is something i haven't done with my AT - crazy i know, but i haven't honestly had the reason or the curiousity yet to push it that far...i probably will at the next 'cruise' tho watch...haha...

p.s. RENESIS SE3P is ok, he get's a pass - he's also protecting my ecu

I think redline on 2nd gear puts you at around 75mph

I usually redline it in first at least once a day, if not more. If i'm where I can, I often redline it in second as well. With the 4.77 gear, 1st tops out right about 40 mph, and 2nd tops out about 70 mph.

I also tend to drive it in manumatic mode most of the time to keep the motor from lugging around town. I don't usually shift into 4th unless I'm cruising at 50mph or above.

For clarification of the above, mine is the 4AT with the FEED 4.77 rear gear.

I am not sure that you can redline in 4th, at least on the street. I've reached speeds that I should not have been at and never got close to redline in 4th. I was not impressed with the 4.77 gear and presently am using stock gearing. I got the response I wanted by FI.

Yeah, the 4.77 gear is not going to give you anywhere near the acceleration gains that FI does.

Yeeeh baby. I usually redline mine whenever I want to hear the sound. Pretty, pretty sound. It's one of those sounds that it sounds nice, but it'll snap on you if you mess with it. Burrrrrrrrrr...BRWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
