[QUOTE="LCP, post: 183369, member: 2424"] Oh wow, 4.44... that is pretty short, definitely not right for any situation, except off road when climbing steep rocks... but then this is not a 4WD vehicle... the 5th gear will still be shorter than the 4th, with the 4.44, your 5th gear ratio will be somewhere in between 3rd and 4th of those cars with 3.15 rear diff... no wonder you are pulling 6000rpm easily... of course if you rebuild your engine to race spec and make it rev till 10000rpm or more, the 4.44 will suddenly become suitable again...
