I know the top speed in 4th gear, but top speed does not equal trap speed. So can anyone who has tracked their IX please comment on what speed and rpm you trapped in the 1/4. Any one shift to fifth?
Also please comment on what size tires you had as that effects trap speed)

I am going to the track soon and I think my trap will be around 115-117 and I'm not sure if I can do that in 4th.

Thanks

i calculated my top speed per gear given my 7800rpm rev limit. In 4th gear i could trap 118mph. Still stock tires and transmission.

This is for an Evo IX, which has a shorter 4th gear than the VIII...

I don't think that is accurate, at least not on stock tire. On stock tire 7000 is only 106.9

You were probably reving higher than 7000

Did you actually trap this fast or was this only calculated. I have calculated this also but I want real world findings.

I trapped 105.46, and was close to 7K. In my opinion a trap speed between 115-117 is just on that point where if the stock rev limiter is in place, might implicate having to shift to 5th. But if you raise the limiter, I think that the range of speeds you are talking about might be more realistic for 4th gear.

look at my sig

just tapping the rev limiter in 4th @ 8000 rpm, I trapped 113..

my trap was maybe bouncing off my 7600 rev limit

This is odd, we have different traps here

That does not make sense. The only thing I can think of is that some people's cars must really fall on their face at high RPM's. In other words although you may have the same trap speed I suppose your actual final speed could be different

Lets get info from some more ppl please.

I'm not doubting you, im just saying its odd how the traps ppl have listed are not constant at all with RPM.
