Default 3.73s...
How is gas mileage with these? I MAY be using them in conjunction with a PT4400. What RPM will it hover at in overdrive on the highway (55+ mph).
It's a daily driver and will have H/C/headers in the near future.
Thanks!
Nick

You'll be under 2000 rpm at 55mph and turn about 2600 at 75 mph. I don't track gas mileage.

I have the 3:73 on the M6 and it only raised my 65 mph by a few hundred RPM in 6th. I can still get close to 250 or 300 miles of highway on a full tank. I would not "think" it will hurt you "too" much....
