Finally got my b20v back on the road after breaking a valve a few years ago. It's humid and raining for the past week or so but hoping to have some track numbers soon. The car was running 68% ethanol on the dyno and it was 98 degrees so left the timing a little conservative up top since it's about to get hotter and I drive the car a lot. Probably gonna go back at some point and make another map with my "track" intake, higher ethanol, and more aggressive timing but i'm happy with the results right now.
I'm curious what it would run with a 4.7FD on the trans. His launch and shifting seem just about perfect.
With a 4.7 he'd accelerate noticeably faster and he'd still easily be within 4th gear by the end of the 1/4.
Sick build, very cool man.
In regard to optimal gearing for acceleration, it has more to do with how much can be used. Gearing is essentially multiplying the torque, too much for the given speed and the car can surpass the available grip. Take a look at this video, I found it to be very useful.

Haha hell yeah, Engineering Explained! Love that guy.
I'd still go for the 4.7 personally, but to each their own. Love your build man, and congrats on the new time/trap!
Looking good man. I bet with a 4.7 you pick up 2-3mph in the trap and 60" will drop some. You get that 60' to a consistent 1.7 and youre low 12's all day. What the car weigh? My EG at 2300 w/ me in it pulling mid 1.7's and 112 traps is 12.0 - 12.1 consistent. 253whp 162tq
