IaM-Ray

I found with 2110cc and 3:44 in 4th gear I seemed to be always looking for 5th. Then of course I would come to realize ... no Ray you can't get a 5th as it gives you the same as a 4th that you already have but more fun rowing... So in an A/C I kept my car as is even though I was trying to quiet things down.

I built a new IM full Subie, that too has some compromises as all of them do. You get more fun rowing with 5 gears but my 5th is running 3200 at 70mph... I thought I would get it quieter, certainly not with the top down but no it did not happen.... Maybe one day I will try 3.91 R&P and a lowered 5th to get to 2700rpm but that is as low as it goes in that setup as well.

You cannot get to 2200rpm at 70mph even if the car can start pretty much in 4th anytime...

I guess it makes up for not having a CVT Maybe a skidoo CVT is all you really need .... just kidding.
