Default Speed vs RPM's in what gear do you guys travel @?

I have just used the gear calactor and it was way off of its estimates. What does a normal 99-04 sixer go down the highway at 80 mph in 5th gear for all you manual trans guys?

5th gear for a manual is the same as 4th in an automatic. The gear ratios are the same if that helps you at all v6stang07.

With 4.10's in the '04 V6 automatic, we are running at 3,000 rpm at just under 80 mph on the highway.
