speaking of FF tranny...

[sad_rocc@veedub.com (Dan Smith)]

Showoff ;) Thanks for all the info guys, since my highway speed averages 80 or so, a 4k would definitely not work for me, unless I put in the tall 5th gear. At least I know a FF isn't crap, which was my main concern. 2800rpms @ 70? Heh, sounds like my old firebird where I could do 75-80 at about the same rpms. At least that tranny will make highway trips a bit quieter.
