When R&T tested they said it would do;

@6,000 in

1st 31 mph
2nd 53
3rd 80
4th 111
5th 138
& at 5450 6th = 150 mph
R&T are usually pretty accurate but not perfect. R&T also said the HP was 219 when it was really 229 because of Benz marketing.

I'm just passing along the info I got from Eurocharged when they did my engine. I have no idea if the specs are in stone or in general. You know "contents may settle during shipment and handling" kind of thing.

I do know where my rev limits per gear are now! I peg 90 MPH+ in third.
