in 5th
2,000 x 2 = 4000 take 2 '00' off = 40mph
3,000 x 2 = 6000 take 2 '00' off = 60mph

nope really have a look,
5,000 revs x 2 = 10,000 take 2 '00' off = 100mph
trust me on this i have had no speedo for ages so always work on the revs.
a F20 will not let you do say more then about 130
even on redline 6,500 revs x 2 = 13,000 take 2 '00' = 130mph

well ye
the limiter is around 6,800
So
6,800 x 2 = 13,800 take 2 '00' off = 138mph
which works out max speed
most book values have not been tested its just what it could do
