You might want to try this instead:

The Reverend's Gear Calculator

Includes the S2000 info (and does all the gears).

Oh, and bear in mind that a stock S2000 doesn't have enough power to hit the limiter in 6th.

Very useful site for anyone thinking about changing the final drive ratio as well.

Have you tried / considered this Brian ?

The 4.57 from Ricks (http://www.ricks2k.com/products/reargears.php) looks interesting.

A very comprehensive reply Brian - does the coy imply that you're expecting one in January ? This is a mod which I'm considering, so would be very interested in any impressions.

Do you think that changing the manifold makes that much difference (hype aside) ? If so, which would you consider ? Is the performance gain due to the manifold being longer / less restrictive ?
