what do you consider High?

in my 69 at 70mph I'm at 3000
Damn you are, sh*t my freinds ride at 70 was I'm trying to remember but it was higher then 3K but below 3600. It's not that high but running that alot starts to kill you gas milage and we commute so he needs to go faster on highway especially since the nearest track to us is an hour away an we all hit 70+ MPH when we go.

Actually I do have a Honda Accord as a commuter/beater and gas saver. The 5.0 is just my weekend car or when I go out to mess around in it. I run 373's on my 5 speed so I can't really comment on the 410's on a 5 speed. I've just tried them on Auto and I'm pretty sure it's not the same as a 5 speed. I'm from Bay Area, CA. We use to have a local track close by til they closed it down and build I think some office building so know we go all they way to Sacramento which is an hour away.
