Curious on your guys input from guys that drive v8 e30's.
Thanks!

6th will get you to 80mph at 2000rpm or 119 at 3k
1st will get you to 45mph at 6000rpm
4th will get you to 119 at 6000rpm
You are 5 - 7 mph faster with the above calcs against a Getrag 420g 6spd and a 3.15 rear diff. That is, until 4th. The Getrag hits 1.00:1 in 5th and only .83 in 6th (2000rpm = 57mph in 6th).

There are 3.46 medium case gearsets available... not sure any were used in E30 cases, though, so you may have to build one.Just a little project im working on
