I think the next question is if anyone has a bolt-on ZE and has topped out one of these setups.PhotoPOC(tm)

I would think a 4.11 with Escort gears would top a lot higher.....considering a stocker 4.39 is doing 155 @ 7500 rpm, a stock 4.11 does 166 @ 7500 rpm.
There's a thread on it here somewhere.PhotoPOC(tm)

I have had this in every transmission that I have put in my car, so...5-6 years now? Good write-up. I usually put the car in gear, then remove the pin from the shift fork then engage 5th. This in effect locks up the transmission so it is easier to bust loose those nuts on the end of the I/O shafts..but w/e method works.
You can also use n/a 2.2 1g 5th gear, or a festiva 5th if you REALLY want a big drop in rpm..but I found that the festiva gear is overkill and makes any sort of acceleration tough at highway speeds in 5th..John Kessler - 'The Original Mayonnaise'

I really like this gear, I still drive around town in 5th 35 mph @1.5K RPM and I can still accelerate from that in 5th.93 PGT Kitted and all -sold,

@ 7500 maybe 170-ish
the Festiva 5th has to be sky-high, it's made for an engine that turns 5 or 6 grand max, and has 12 or 13" wheels.
I would think you would need boost almost to top out a 4.11 with Festiva 5th, or a wicked N/A build.Last edited by j-dogg; September 24, 2009, 07:36 PM.PhotoPOC(tm)

it should be 173 @ 7.5k or 163 @ 7k, according to KLZEPorsche's site, you need 382 hp to hit 160 mph in a probe.93 PGT Kitted and all -sold,
