If anyone is familiar with HWY 168 up to Shaver Lake here in Central Cali, I can cruise the 4-lanes in 4th at 75 MPH at under 50% throttle. I can pull fifth at 78+, but I chose to shift back into 4th because the speed limit is just 55 and I dont want to toast my W56 :flamer:

35s and 5.29s :bling:

Oh, I almost forgot the most important part, 4th at 75 is right at 3,500rpm and 5th at almost 80 is about 3,200rpm.

You guys are pulling 4th gear at < 60 mph? What you are using, like 5.71s and 33" ? :ack:
