its prolly pretty close to the H22A1. looking at the gear ratios.

What gear ratio for 5th are you using? And what final drive ratio?

My info say's 5th for the 92-96 SI vtec 5sp prelude is .87 . With a final drive ratio of 4.27:1

Giving 135mph at 7500rpm's. When I divide 135 into 7500, I get 55.56 rev's per mile per hour. So 55.56 X 60 (MPH) I get,
3337 rpm's at 60mph

Know when I take the SI (non vtec) and it's 5th gear ratio of .81 and the same final drive of 4.27:1, I get 127mph at 6500rpm's.
I get 3070rpm's at 60mph.

I really hoping that I'm wrong and it's really is at most 3000rpm's.
