Yeah I have the 3.05 final in mine. Is a larger final drive better for FE or better for accel? Thanks for the info on the trans fluid, I was kind of curious about it.
Did you use a scangauge to decide to hold 2200-2500 rpm until fourth? I'm curious as to how the numbers differ between going to TCC lock-up in third as compared to this. It could make a huge difference in my commute as 80% of the lights I hit are on 70-80km/h speed limit roads where I have to get into fourth anyhow.
Thanks a lot for your input everyone.
As an aside, does anyone know how to set my image below as a link to the fuel log page?
