My rpm's are going to be too high on the highway i think. If I am doing 75mph it would be 2000rpm.

But merging into traffic from 40 to 75mph, while pulling a 10,000lb trailer will be much more enjoyable.

So would adding a single vgt and dual fueler lol. I am going to stay with 35" tires, so 3.73 is going to be a better route.

4.10's would be better to me. You'll be at 2k running 85 I believe. Would be perfect to me.

Soooooo... does anybody want to donate their 3.31s to a poor guy with a 2wd and short rubber? :lookaround:

What rpm is "safe" or "optimal" to consistently run at on the highway?

I am going to run 37's and want to get back the low end grunt and then some as compared to 3.55's and the stock 34's. I don't want to over rev at my normal highway speeds(65-75) but most of my driving is city or traffic anyways. I'd be willing to slow it down a little on my lucky few open highway drives I believe which makes 4.30's the optimal solution for me
