When im doing 70 im at around 2100 with 3.73s (not sure how tall the tire is, its not that tall i know for sure)
5spd GT said:Stangar - 327's would be a better jump...but I think 3:55's would give you a better kick and you would feel that it was worth $400 bucks. Know what I mean?
txstang84 said:depends on your purposes...if you dig high speed cruise-2.73's are great, but not the best in the acceleration department...I liked having my 3.73's (currently running 3.27's due to axle swap), it felt pretty good to walk a WRX STi up to about 100 when I let off...not good to race in the area I was in

I think only the guys that live in BFE would want 2.7's to putt along at 100 on long, open, deserted roads.
5spd GT said:white93ed - So just because your mitsubishi has to be on the floor at 70mph means others have to be Umm...no. Many many many more variables than that. To say that 4 cylinders have to be over 3,000rpm on the interstate is silly...or saying that all have to be in that operating range is
MY- So where is the overwhelming evidence?

wht93gtEd said:umm ok
I didn't say that 4 cylinders HAVE to be over 3k, I said MOST DO.
That IS true; as a matter of fact, I bet a poll of people with 4 cyl cars would show that a majority see around 3k at 70.
i'm done with this
