I can tell none of you guys have an automatic....before my 4 speed swap, I was shifting consistantly around 3k. It would go to 3k, shift, stay at 3k, shift, stay at 3k, shift, finally lock up. With the new set-up, who knows....I only have 4 gears! And no OD.

I almost always shift right at 2K in every gear,, obviously every day driving is not for a go fast feel

however, in effort to calculate my maximum gas mileage with 4.10's, i have now officially gone 185 miles without shifting above 2500 rmp ONCE!!

1500 in every gear 95% of the time = slow, boring, and hoards of angry people at stoplights.[&:]

so far ive gone about 185 and on a half tank exactly, so im expecting about 300ish total

i can't let my RPMs drop below 1500 in 3rd or higher or my car starts acting funny. especially 5th. 4th is the only gear i have to take it up to like 2500-2700 so when i go into 5th, i'll be at or above 1500.
