Tigers and Bob,
There are lot's of responses, but if you want to check out YOUR gear
ratio, 4 & 5 speed, tire/wheel size and shift speeds vs the rpm's you
think your good for, here is a MARVELOUS resource by Bob Hokanson. It
is quite thorough and even provides a link to a free MS Excel Reader
that works for both PC and Mac O/S. The "calculator" lets one change
the rpm, transmission gear ratio selector, switch to another tranny
gear, and "shift".
The data set default is Tiger Mk I "close ratio" (not) and the MkII
"wide ratio" (not), the Mustang 5 speed, the Motorsport 5 speed, and the
JBA 1352-000-204 5 speed transmissions.
Lot's of fun, and utility. I've had both the stock Mk I 4spd, and the
MkII. I like the MkII "wide ratio - not" for around town and highway.
Could stand a little longer 4th by using a 5 spd, but the MkII is
perfectly adequate.

Use it, it's fun too! THANKS BOB.
