exactly what i have!

rev limiter @ 7800rpm with the stock 235/45-17 wheel size

1 gear - 46.6mph
2 gear - 66.6 mph
3 gear - 89.5mph
4 gear - 118.4mph
5 gear - 170.55mph

Now with the stock rev limiter 7602 top speed in 4th gear is 115.4mph
With a 8000rpm limit the top speed in fourth gear is 121.46mph
With a 8200rpm limit the top speed in fourth gear is 124.5mph

Always with the stock wheel size... and Always for the EVO IX which has a shorter 4th gear than the Evo VIII...

enjoy...

What you don't get is that top speed IS NOT EQUAL to trap speed.
Trap speed is your average over the last 66 feet I believe.
There for your trap will always be lower than your max speed.
For this reason calculations are not that helpful.

Thanks for the info, with those tires your max speed @8000 should be 120.7 That means that you were able to trap within 1.5 MPH of your top speed limit. Good info.
