But also yes, 4th gear is a bit excessive, at least on public roads. From memory when i recently was on track where at end of longest straight i for first time was able to redline 4th, speed IIRC was 170-180kmh on speedo. Speeding ticket at such might be .. a bit on costly side  |
For me there isn't any issue to speedup on 4th or 5th gear. I am in Germany and I am doing the tests in autobahn. The real issue is that reduction on weight of rotation parts doesn't contribute so much after the 3rd gear. Especially with a longer fd like the one I am using. However, this is another discussion and let's stay on what "gains" you can see with such mods on 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear.
