Regarding the 2D,
Just so I am straight on this because in one response it says it's ok to lug 3rd at 30, then in another it says no.
When duning.. Is 4000-4500 rpm's in second gear with an occasional rev to 5500 best ----or---- 2500-3000 rpm in third with an occasional rev to 4500 best?
Max torque comes in at 4-5000 rpm and max HP is at 5500 on my dyno sheet.
And are you saying we should replace the bearings after dyno runs too?
Thanks

Vehicle weight comes into play (a lighter car with the exact same gearing and HP will have a diffrent feel all together) ... when you are driving around in say third gear, at what rpm does the car feel slugish and at what rpm does it feel lighter. What kind of motor is this most four cylinder motors are exempt to a point since there torque numbers are way below that of a V8 motor.
Car weighs 1700ish.
3rd gear doesn't feel sluggish unless I am down below 1500rpm.
Motor is a 3.5 turbo honda @ 7 psi. roughly 350 hp/tq at flywheel.
