slightly over 3K frat eeway speeds.
I turn 2950 rpm's with 4.10 gears..also, unless you plan running faster than 131 mph in the 1/4 you will still be in 4th gearBesides with 4.1 gears your 5th gear will now pull like your 4th gear used to...figure on loosing 3 miles lper gallon on the fwy.....by the way my speed at 2950 rpm's is 75 mph.
