isn't the rule like 3.73 or 4.11 for autos and 4.10's for manuals? i think that's what it is. i run 3.42's and you already said you're tired of them so i'm not much help in that area, lol

well the way i see it, i have a 6spd and @ 70 im at 1600 rpm and i dont do all that much highway driving. i really dont care about mpg's. i think with 4.56's i would be around 2,200rpm. im wondering what my top speed would be

the thing to worry about is when you max out 4th gear. 5th has a little pull to it yet... but you dont want to be hitting 5th at like 100mph.
