Default Highway RPM

On stock gearing with an A4 what are you guys doing RPM wise at 70mph? I got the car as is and suspect it has different gears. I was doing 2800 at 70 with 275s on the rear. That right for stock of more like 3.73s? Thanks

Assuming you are on 17 inch wheels and your car is in overdrive that sounds more like a 4.10 ratio to me.

2800 is to high for 3.73s at 70, even to high for 4.10s. When you say 275's I assume your running 17's. Is your converter locked?

Thats correct if you had 2.73's and no 4th gear.
2724 rpm to be exact.

The convertor is stock and I can't remember if it locked up or not. Car isn't driveable right now to go check lol. But at 70mpg it was doing 2700 to 2800 in 4th gear. That sound like 4.10s? I got that car like this and wasn't told of it having gears. It had been traded a few times. And yes on 17s. Sorry I forgot to include that in the first post.

With 4.10's in overdrive and locked up comes out to 2710 rpm.
