5th gear isnt needed on the track, unless its more than a 1/4 mile and no one runs a 1/2 mile.. 4th gear tops out over an amount that pretty much anyone on here is going to trap at. 4th tops out around 110 or so. which is good for ~12.5 which about 1% of the members are capable of.
eh, not all tracks are straight!
at the local circuit I'm redline 4th at the start/finish line, so 5th IS needed.
1/4 mile isnt the only form of track racing.

I would very much like to boost 5 gear!, Gary tried this and failed.,For my Highway driving, I'm scared to pass a car in 5th,I drop down to 4th which is usually overkill to pass a car lol, but i'm scared of gasing in 5th!

also how you drive is a factor on if and when it will break here people who street race and drag on the strip use 16 inch rim i run 17 anything higer then that you run the risk of snaping 5th

I boost in 5th gear to 6-7 psi all day long at around 70-80mph.
Haven't been too worried about it, I will once I break a gear, lol.
With my 7500 rpm redline I get to 130-135mph on the dyno in 4th gear! (beta II trans).
How much boost/power are you guys putting down? Have any of you all broken 5th other than gary? I heard of 3rd going as well, any other gears shearing off other than those two?
