becuase of the lack of weight, i am looking at running a 2.73:1 diff ratio, that combined with the tyres i plan on running it will do

1st - 61mph
2nd - 92mph
3rd - 126mph
4th - 163mph
5th - 221mph
6th - 327mph

6th = 54mph per 1000rpm

i know it won't get anywhere near the top speed of the top gears but i may as well use as few gear changes getting it to its top speed what ever that is, i want to do over 200 if i can but i don't think it will have strong enough bodywork or aero dynamics.

It's an LS2 though right? There are loads of cars which use those. Could probably get parts off of Vauxhall for it?
