1st = 3.583
2nd = 1.947
3rd = 1.379
4th = 1.030
5th = 0.820
Final = 4.312
and now have
1st = 3.583
2nd = 1.947
3rd = 1.379
4th = 1.030
5th = 0.767
Final = 3.722
The internals from the Galant V6-24V, you would have to do some digging but Im pritty sure these would fit the VR4 box and give you the ratio's your looking for.
Top Speed in 1 gear = 37.739 MPH
Top Speed in 2 gear = 69.450 MPH
Top Speed in 3 gear = 98.056 MPH
Top Speed in 4 gear = 131.280 MPH
Top Speed in 5 gear = 176.296 MPH
As for the power, I think Im running more than anyone else here and hammering it more (no daily driving though) and they have held up to everything Ive given them including lots of 4000rpm launches.
