It would not be anywher near that high. I used a gear calculator, and with a 4.08 @ 70mph in 6th would = 3000 rpm.

I think this would rock, however, the more I think about it this might throw off the SRM more then a flywheel. The SRM system must have a preloaded wheel speed vs gear table. It probably see's wheel speed "x" for gear "y" and revs to rpm "z". The wheel speed will be off by 10%, meaning it would have to rev 10% higher for a given wheel speed and gear. So it might be 10% off on the rev match to engine speed. Then again I might be completely off on my assumptions on how the SRM works. Either way, I can't Imagine 10% off would make a huge difference in smoothness of the system. If you manually heel toe like a pro, I bet most are still off by a few hundred RPM. Anyhow, some needs to break the seal and try this out. It will be killer for NA setups.
