A4+3.73's=?RPM
What RPM are you guys with A4's with 3.73's running at 75mph?
Just wondering if 3.73's are too much RPM. Basically this car is for racing but when i drive on the freeway i don't want to be pulling 3 grand all day....harder on the motor.

cruising along at about 3000 rpm im guessing im around 80-85 mph. speedo isnt recalibrated yet so im not sure. I did bury the speedo because of that though 
I pegged it at 155 which would really be about 115-120. it was cool.
I actually think around town fuel mileage would be unchanged or better with this. the converter locks in at a lower rpm (between 35-40 mph, my guess.) I practically coasted up a hill going 1400 rpm in high gear at 45.
