VT_Maverick's 5 Speed Swap

[Etfren]

Checked last night and 60 MPH was about 2300-2400 and 70 MPH was roughly 2700-2800. IIRC from the trip 80 MPH was 3100-3200. How does that compare?

Awesome, thanks for checking.

I spent most of my drive with the cruise set at 60 on the speedo, but thanks to my 35's, my GPS said I was doing 72 MPH. I was right on 2500 RPM.

Bigger tires would lower the torque rating at the rear wheels. IOW, making it feel a hair less powerful. Plus, we've yet to see anyone report an improvement in MPG from larger tires. Looks and traction are cool though!
