[QUOTE="EgoTrippin, post: 504838, member: 595"] My bus struggled on anything other than the flat with the 1600sp and 1302 box. Even overheated in Holland on the flat with a headwind! You should really run a bigger motor, say 1776 to really get the best use from a longer ratio box. Or get decent sized rear tyres. Now running a 2007 stroker motor with a re-built 1302 box and rear tyres which match the stock radius. Result is 105mph at 5000rpm on the rolling road. I don't mind dropping down to 3rd on hills as it easily does 60mph in 3rd :) When its on cam it will overtake normal traffic going uphill at 70 ish mph ;) [/QUOTE]
