This is Las Vegas everyone drives like a maniac here lol. I like your scenery better, although I do like being able to see far into the distance.

At 80mph I'm doing 3500 rpm in my 4 speed/3.70 rear end. both needles straight up. I would really like a 5 speed.

With my 3.36 gears, a 5-speed would be great. Since I have a 6-speed, I want to switch to 4.11 and then it'll really haul. Can't bring myself to spend the money though.

Could you actually use the additional gearing? I have the same 3.36, and with my stroker I can't use full throttle in first gear, and it turns the tyres hard through 2nd gear too, even with good 17" tyres.

I have to get cute with the clutch pedal to break them loose with 255/45ZR18s. The gearing will help.

That video was so cool.
The road looks barely wide enough for the cars stance.
I'd try that run on my Norton commando for sure.
That is a bad *** castle too.
Thanks for posting.

And just finished breaking in a new TKO 5 speed that I installed (was auto) so it's getting ALOT more miles on it, drives like a completely different car
