I have a CX tranny. DX Engine. I think the CX red lines around 5000 RPMs, and the DX red lines at 6800. So all gears are basically 1800RPMs longer. It's sick. Idling in 1st gear is 6mph, so it sort of does suck off the line, but I wouldn't care if I were boosted, though.

I've thought about boosting this 1.5L... A machinist friend of mine said he'd slap me if I tried it, but I'm bigger than he is. I think I could take him. Maybe after I finish building up my DSM, I'll try it. I saw a picture of it once, but it looked Photochopped.

JKan2001, it would be interesting to see what dyno results you get with that tranny before/after. I bet the numbers look lower, but with less shifting, the 1/4 mile times would be faster. Run it with the smallest steelies you can fit when you go back to the track. That will help the low-end a lot.
