just to clear things up...imagine this.
you have no OVERDRIVE
your 3rd or 4th gear it a 1:1
that means....
if you have 4.10's and your cruising at 75mph, then your running @ 4100rpms
AND
if you have 4.88's and your cruising @ 75mph, then your running @ 4880rpms
DAMN! thank you Jesus for overdrive! lol
