    on an F13 box you will get around 110mph on the limiter, but there is no point taking it there as it takes ages to get the last 10mph, might as well be in fifth. If it is a corsa gsi box you are using it should be an F15, I would imagine that they are the same gearing though.

    Depends if its a Wide ratio or a Close ratio box, and mostly on the FD.
