I took a drive to the neighboring town. Its posted at 65 so most are driving 75. I'm pushing about 3000 to 3200 and still not keeping up with traffic with my 3:36 gears. Plus the temp was rising a bit. That just kind of sucked. Driving 55 is fine for the most part.

I was playing with an online RPM calculator. I like my cruise rpm around 2500. I found out my tire are only 25.5" tall and the 2.93 would be ideal for me for interstate driving. I have two 8.5 sitting around I know one is 3.08. I will need to check the other.

I just suggest getting some miles in and see what you can tolerate.
