I think you could probably get away with the occasional 8k in fourth gear. But I wouldn't run a stock valvetrain up there ever again. Doesn't really matter now I guess, Beehives and Ti retainers are going in.

Had plans to go, but the wife said she has to go in to work and then shopping. Gotta keep her employer happy since she makes more than me haha.

Need to do some third gear pulls tonight though, gotta go find some traffic/cop free roads...

I like to pull on the freeway on ramps. 3rd gear tops out about 65-70 so it works fine.

That's low man,
Mine would normally top 85 coming out of a 3rd gear pull when I had it.

Just logged the first third gear pulls for the tune. Never went WOT all the way to 7.5K before, all I can say is holy **** that's a rush. I may just have to start drag racing I Realized that my O2 dump is stupid loud, boost hits like a mother, three cups of coffee and a bottle of water is not good before third gear pulls. (Really had to go and nearly pissed myself when the O2 dump opened)

So when are having a meet at QuikEvos place?
