What FD's in it? Sounds like you want a 3.55. What revs is it doing at 70 at the moment?

using stus gearbox cal
195-45-15 tyres, using a F16 WR with a 3.72 FD and a rev limiter of 6500 id get lol
Speed @ Limit 1st 33.5 Mph
Speed @ Limit 2nd 58.75 Mph
Speed @ Limit 3rd 89.5 Mph
Speed @ Limit 4th 128.71 Mph
Speed @ Limit 5th 161.35 Mph
Pointless for a xe nova though, you want it "alive" and revvy!
If you want 2k rpm at 100mph then get a vag derv lol
