Cheers for the info guys.
It all makes a lot of sense, I just figured it was better to ask how it will perform before I get to a track day.
It is hard to tell how it will perform with out giving it everything, but I was just not willing to test it's speed capabilities on a public road. So thanks for the input everyone. It's answered all my questions.
Now I feel a bit better about tracking it and being disappointed with it running outta revs.

Cheers

You wont even get top gear in your car with a 3.63 at Eastern Creek unless you have double the wheel HP of a stock car. You may just need to get yourself a louder stereo for highway trips and dont look at the tacho.


I don't get anywhere near the top of 5th down the straight at eastern Creek and I'm doing around 180ish for memory
