How did the increase need to shift affect your acceleration? I've always considered the gears on an AP2 to be incredibly short as they are. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWffR3R6-Xk for example, the 4.77 run actually looks slower due to the added shifts.

also, are the 4.77s suitable for DDing? people who DD say they love the 4.77s but MotorKlasse's website says it's for all-out track performance.

it's definitely suitable for daily driving.. in fact, probably even more suitable than a track imho.

Once you decide to go with the gears, make sure you have someone that has lots of experience with gear installation do the work. I had Ganley Honda do mine since the mechanic has had years of doing work on s2000s and I couldn't beat the deal.

Im no expert but gears dont add power, just move around the shift points to get into the power quicker.
So wouldnt a stock S2000 and a geared one run the same time in the 1/4 mile or eventually catch up after 80-100mph?
