Jim,

Yeah thats about what RPMs I would have at 105 too. I have the .64 with a 3.27 rear. So I get about 2,000RPM at 80mph.....and with the cam I have it takes about 2,000RPM for the motor to settle in and be happy. Can't accelerate very fast without downshifting, but thats easy enough to do.

The good part is when loafing along highway there is not much noise from the pipes, but still a lot from the wind. I am sure gas mileage is helped, not that I am fretting over the cost of gas so much as how frequently I need to stop and fill up.
