Alan lives in an area where most posted speed limits are 55. Interstates are 70. I would rather have a 2500-2600 rpm engine at 70 than to have a little bucking action at 55-60.
If he went to a .64, 70 mph rpms would be lower, but more than likely he would have to run in 4th gear at most other speeds driving around town.
This is a good reason to get a lot of data on an initial build. Every customer's driving situation is a little different.

I agree 100%. I have a 3.42 diff with the 0.82 5th gear and it's perfect for the SF Bay Area. |
