Hi Toyford

In the city I rarely go over 3000 refs before I change gear. On the open road when accelerating I take it up to 4500 refs or a bit more. The last time I dyno'ed my car the top power was at 4800 ref or so.

Hope this helps

Hi I had a look after my previous post and I cruise around town at 1800 rpm or so. Change gear at 2300 +-. Open road I change at 3200-3400. Depends on what mood I am in. :biggrin:

The top power is at 4800. Checked that too.
