20006, RPM's and Speed
Posted by EclipseHottie, Apr-11-02 04:08 PM
I was wondering what some of you guys with unmodded cars run at 80MPH, well what I mean is when you are going 80, how high are your RPM's? Mine is like 3200, is that normal, cause my friends car is like 2500 at 80. Its a chrysler though. what about yall? TIA

haha Breezio, how does that help you dont have an eclipse....gear ratios and crap could be different...

Shes automatic too, so there isnt a 5th gear...

But it sounds about right. 3,000rpms or so in 4tj gear at 70mph

well I'm modded it should make any difference on what RPM your running because I don't think NE1 here has a close ratio transmission or any other tranny for that matter. at 80 I'm around 3k.
