Mike,
Mine does an indicated 72mph @ 3000rpm in O/D & 4th gear, all original bits
except 165 x 15 Michelins. The speedo and odometer are about 1% "slow", based
on a recent rally calibration.

Subject: BN2 revs at speed
I'd appreciate some data from BN2 owners out there. If you know your
OD%
and also have the original gearing, can you tell me your speed at 3000
RPM ?
In fact, it would be good to know the speed both in and out of OD. I
realize there will be some differences due to tire size and speedo
accuracy.
If anyone with a 3.54 installed wants to compare, that will be good
data as
well. However, what I am trying to assess is my own BN2 situation.
Believe
it or not, I haven't installed my 3.54 in it yet. I want to determine
my
starting point before opening things up. I'm suspicious that I might
already have a higher ratio than stock.
Thanks much.
