Exactly the answer I was looking for, thanks. And maybe it's not 35%, I don't have the smarts to install a mpguino (at least i don't think I do) and my car is 1 year off from being able to use scangauge. It's the reason I bought my cold air intake, so I could hear the engine more and kinda try and guess where my engine load is at.
