1. When he blew his Differential case, it fucked up his 4.30 final gear.

2. Dragon has a hard time shifting into 3rd Gear.

3. Nago circuit here in Okinawa only has a 150 m Track(400 m=1/4 mile).

4. At the end of the 150m track, he's still in second gear(at the very top end of 2nd, but still in second)

5. With his 4.30 final gear, he HAD to shift into 3rd.

ahhh...i see. makes much more sense now.

BTW, what kind of times are achieved in the 0-150?? like 7-ish for an average modified FD??

There is no point IF your goal is to simply gain acceleration by changing gear size. Everything you talk about has to do with tuning rear end gear for a certain track or need. This topic was more about general acceleration.
