Default 9 inch, 3.0 gears

Richmond overdrive 6 speed, and I am really glad I went with the 3.0 gears.. 1st is almost too low as it is with the Richmond.

at 70 mph in 5th... 2500 rpm... perfect for under 70 on short freeway hops

at 70 in 6th.... 1900 rpm, perfect for long flat straightaways

Any lower and I would HAVE to use 6th on the freeway, every time. I would think with the 4 speed you would want no more than 3.0 gears.. I would want a 2.78 or whatever ?
