I'd say that somewhere close. Just a guess on my part since those mods don't really see much to the wheels without FI.

I'd say you are pretty accurate as well. Gears are probably giving you the best gains ftw!

Is your car auto or manual - if auto I would say 240 is a bit high, if manual maybe right around there probably still a bit high - I would guess aroung 230 - 235
