I was just wondering what most of you lot get speed/revs with in to gear, so i can compare mine. Iv recently replace my 2.0 aut box with a 325 sport box but as yet havn't fitted the slippy diff from the sport, im still running the 2.0 auto diff, now in fifth at 60 mph im doing 2900 rpm.

So what RPM are you doing a 60 mph so i can compare in your different chariots

Cheers

Think I'm doing about 2500rpm in 5th at 60mph, got a higher back axle ratio than the sport one on mine though.

Fitted my slipper today and it has brought it down to just over 2000 at 60 so i'm a lot happier, it also gives me the longer legs needed for when i have more power
