RE: RPMS
I have a T-5 manual, that's the problem, which T-5 manual do I use because it doesn't state one for the 94-95 GT it has a pre 99 V6 T-5, but I don't have a V6, then it has a 79-91,93 T-5, but says nothing about 95. I decided to use the 79-93 T-5 because if memory serves me right it's pretty much was unchanged for 94-95. I came up with something between 3.27 and 3.55, pluged in 3.45 and the numbers came out to be perfect, last time I checked though, that's not a common size.

Ok since I don't have a way to get all four tires easily off the ground, although I may try it at the shop tommorrow, what rpm are you guys at around 70-75 mph. I was just wondering if it's possible that my car has had gear work done, yea yea yea, I know spin the tire and count the amount of turns the driveshaft makes, but it just seems to be a tad bit too high to be 2.73s. Although I've never owned a GT my 98 sixer with stock gears was at 1900 or so rpms, at 75 mph, the GT is generally around 2300 or so rpms at that speed.
