auto box
First gear top speed 43.0 mph
Second gear min VTEC speed 49.9 mph
Second gear top speed 76.1 mph
Third gear min VTEC speed 73.0 mph
Third gear top speed 111.3 mph
Fourth gear min VTEC speed 109.1 mph
Fourth gear top speed 166.3 mph
Fifth gear min VTEC speed 0.0 mph
Fifth gear top speed 0.0 mph
if you work out the time spent in vtec, the auto is actually faster
hence the need to manually actuate the partial and half lock senarios
to stay in vtec all the way through, with a stupid flappy paddle thingy then you could pull back and hold for half lock, then release it for a full shift up. this is why i didnt do my manual conversion, but unfortunatly it was me who was doing the work, im notoriously lazy and its just sitting in the shed along with a thousand other projects that get sidelined by other ideas, then these too get the same treatment

Isn't it at 5250 because that's where the torque and the power cross
