Default 2nd gear redline 03-05 6spd?

At what speed does the 03-05 6spd redline in 2nd gear? 6800 rpms is the redline - right?

its the high 50's around 56-58 because in order to do a 0-60 with a g-tech you have to bounce off the rev-limiter or go to 3rd. This is assuming average traction. If you put the automatic 3.3 gears rather than the 3.5 in the manual it will go to about 65mph.

I know 2nd gear in my bone stock 04.5 base goes over 60mph. I think it's somewhere around 62-63mph.

I'm about to go to my girls house so I'll verify it on the way, and report back later.

Yup, I think we will all likely see a hair higher than the listed speeds PDX_Racer posted for us. I know on rev-up I hit 65 pretty regularly while still under redline.

What about aftermarket rims/rubber?? If your tire diameter is smaller than stock that would reduce the top speed for each gear.

This is true but Im using 285/35's which should put me just about dead stock. So unless the others had larger than 26.8 overall height in their tires, it would be the same.

Edit. I just realized you run 19's not 18's(duh), and in that case my explantion doesn't hold water because your tire diameter is actually larger than my 17's. Your overall tire diameter is 26.85 while mine is 26.25. I believe the stock 18s (245/45/18) are 26.68. You should actually have more top speed in each gear, assuming your final drive is unchanged.
