I wonder how many guys cars I could take, add some good sound deadener to the floor, firewall and trunk, unhook the tach and tell them I put in an overdrive! Seeing the number on the tach is what does it for most of us.
This is exactly 100% correct. Unhook the tach. That engine is loving that RPM range. It's ain't hurting a thing.
My car has 4.56's and 27.5 tires. I drive it down the FW at 70 and it turns....well I'm not exactly sure because I don't care. I'd say it's 3800. Some day I'll look.
I've been doing this since 1981 when my first DD street car got 4.56's. The gears paid for themselves in one weekend. Hell, I may go to 4.88's in the future.
