Are you afraid you'll get more than a 150mph trap speed in the 1/4 mile or hit that speed on a straightaway on a track? Because I know you're not going to try that speed on the public highways, right?

ITR gear ratios are all over the internet; try a simple google search.

I'm also assuming you don't actually own an ITR, either.

no i have a type r swap and figured this would be the best place to get my answer... it will be roll racing...im asking because a few years ago i had a boosted gsr and it went to about 150ish and i know the itr has shorter gears...

depends on how high you rev it. I had an ITR tranny in my built hatch and with a 10,000rpm limiter I was able trap 147mph in top of 4th gear

If "roll racing" = on public highways, then GTFO. Seriously.

As for the rest, ask in hybrid or try a simple google search.

Not quite.

I was mixed on forced induction and transmission. I cose forced induction. The dedicated form mod can move it to transmission if desired.
