I couldn't use fifth, no torque, changed back to SI tranny. Would run 65 mph @ 3100 rpm. The hf used to run 60 at like 1800 -2000 if I rmember correctly. I'm not sure you have an HF tranny.
yeah I'm over 2250 at 60.. some one mentioned it could bethe high altitude or CA tranny..

I can solve all this by just swapping to larger tires pretty easly.. nice thing with that is if i want to mess around its a cheap easy swap to test different ratios

Right now the 155-80-15 looks to be the best option there about 10% bigger, that should drop my rpm just about what I think it needs.. so it's not totally guttless and so its lowering the revs at cruising speed.. yet giving me a nice skinny tire for better areo and rolling resistance.
