Are you talking about the Feed gears?
Wouldn't the RPM's be slightly higher?
I don't know.. I'm don't really know how to do the math behind gearing.

The FEED final drive is 4.77, his final drive is 3.9. The stock is 4.44 I think. So RPMs would go down.

He's also using the FD tranny so you can't compare with RX8 numers anyway. Anyone got the numbers from that?
