hey-Hey!!!,
I see a few modified late models while out on the road between Ann Arbor and Philadelphia. I am usually in the car with the family. Those things are all turning some serious rpm at cruising speed( 74.5 mph ), unlike my 1990 with an NV5600 and 3.07 gears...

cheers,
Douglas

Douglas2: How is that with 3.07s and a NV5600? I spose the 6 speed is nice with the tall gears, but how is it on fuel? What rpm do you run at 60, and 70? Is it too tall in 6th for 60 mph?

hey-Hey!!!,
I don't have a tach, but I've measured the tires and conclude the online calculator for rpm is quite close. Top gear is the same as the G360, as is the next one down( 1:1 ). It is quite happy cruising 60 in 6th though I tend to run just a bit more than that most of the time. Fuel consumption is good( certainly better than the 4.10's it had OE ), and the feel is vastly improved; I am not constantly looking for the next gear...
