cruising rpms?
I was wondering what rpm some of yalls sc4s run at when doing between 65-85? Reason im asking is i dont think my torgue converter is lockin up when im cruising cause im running between 2500 and 3500 when crusing in those speeds with OD on.

Its just the gearing. Pop in a 3.73 or a 3.26.... Then you will be getting a lot better gas mileage!

also keep in mind our v8 is only a 4.0 liter. they make 6's bigger than that, so its not like a 5.7 liter that cruises at 2k rpm ya know...
