HP at which a 4k is too low gearing?

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

    In my research for the twin i've realized that it may actually be better to go with an FN or
some other wide ratio box when you have alot of hp. The idea is that you spend too much time
shifting (not to mention 1-2 seconds in each gear) when you have alot of hp. Add turbo to the
equation and it helps even more (boost goes downhill when shifting).
P.S. If you find any ACL/ACN trannies, lemme know!!!
