i still don't kno which one to get, 4.44 4.56 4.57 4.77?
I decided the 4.77 because the freeway with highest speed limit here is only 100kmh (60mph) and I can get away with 4.77 travelling 60mph
There are freeways with higher speed limits here but those are mainly interstates which I never go on to, and if I do travel interstate its less likely I use the s2000
So I guess it depends on the speedlimits on the roads that you go through assuming your car is a daily driver

with 4.77 you have to shift into 5th and that shift will slow your 1/4 mile time.in the 1/4, 4.56 and 4.77 will net you the same time.just from what i read
but once you get it down its really easy,
never lift to shift

[QUOTE=BlownAP,Dec 11 2006, 07:56 PM] it all depends on how well you shift..... the shift into 5th can be tricky to some people,
but once you get it down its really easy,

It's actually 4850-4900 at 5k rpms. It's only 300 rpms above 4.57s. Gas mileage does suffer on the highway but your city mileage should be slightly better than before.

til you miss and over rev and blow your engine up 
get an axial flow short shifter.. it made 4th-5th just like 2nd-3rd. reverse is also ridiculously easy to get into. my throw with a TWM countersunk knob is ~1.5". thats short. i have 4.77's and a comptech sc waiting to be installed cant wait to transform my car!

with my ap2 i would have to shift into 5th right before the trap anyways so ill just be shifting into 5th sooner. i dont think that i'll get the same time as someone with 4.56/7
