Cant answer for the US just for the UK, but I have got 130mph easy could of gone faster but had a wheel vibration this is on a stock model. This is not a brag I assume all T16's can go this speed. My car is a 89 T16 model without cat and reading my manual I have an Economy model gearbox with ratios 1st 12.88:1 2nd 7.49:1 3rd 4.91:1 4th 3.55:1 5th 2.84:1 I have read Rauls tranny mod, and the 83 8 valves from what my manual says has higher numbers before the :1 which I assume means more engine revolutions for one wheel revolution? But is this not worse for top speed and 1st gear take offs? or is the rest of my gearbox after the primary gears slightly different making Rauls mod a good thing for my car? I have only just started looking into this and I may have the wrong end of the stick!!! Also if these gear ratios are fairly decent my 1st gear top speed still suck!!! Thanks!!!
