And ps my build is almost complete and I could run 10s if I wanted to cause I got it build to the nuts. But I'm going after 600whp not time slips.
I'd practically guarantee that a six speed car with its shorter 2nd is faster than a 5 speed if they are both stock.
The point of my post was to say just because the car is geared long it doesn't magically make it faster. That is like saying because a car has a 140 MPH speedo and 100 horsepower it is fast.
I think you guys are over-exaggerating the inaccuracy of the stock speedo. When I cross the 1/4 mile mark at the track my speedo says 109-110mph, and that's what comes out on the time slips. Same with the app on my phone which uses GPS to measure MPH. 135mph on the speedo was 135mph by way of GPS.
I've only heard the first gens were a little more inaccurate at HIGH speeds, like 140+. And second gens are pretty much spot on.
Of course it's dependant on whether or not you have the proper size wheels and tires on your car.

crap that reminds me. I do not remember which speedo gear I have in my car right now.
Either way the difference is only like 3% between 1st and 2nd gen.
