Tire size is also part of the equation, taller than stock tires effectively change your gear ratios, go too tall and its like starting out in 2nd gear all the time. (note: not rim dia, but overall tire diameter. you can get an 18" wheel with a 35 series tire that is the same approx overall height as stock, just more metal/less rubber.)
And 1st is usually around 3.5-1 meaning engine turns 3.5 rpm for 1 axle rpm, 5th is usually 1-1 or even overdrive .8-1 or so, depending on car |
