I confess I am debating replacing the 4:10s in my car with something more stock 3:27. I admit 140kmh is easy to get to but 3000 rpm is deafening me!

Does this have anything to do with your recent expedition in the mud?
110km/h = 1600RPM because .50 overdrive on 6th
3000 is hard on gaz !!!
I wouldnt complain about the gas, its a 4000 lbs ex cop car with a v8. I know what I am getting myself into. Mustang is decent on gas but the that 5th gear and 3:xx gears really let it idle on the highway.
The dumped vic at 117 KMH is at 2600 RPM with my current setup. No bueno
So why you want to lower the RPM on cruise ?
3000rpm @120 in the Cayman, 2900rpm @120 in the S4, 3000rpm @ 120 in the R32.
Dat 9L/100km highway life
Back when I had my E36, I would do 3800rpm @ 120 lol

You should swap diff between the Fox & the CVPI lol
Most of my 16v 4 cyl VWS, VR6s reved like crazy but with a v8 I want to work to the advantages of what it is (ie Torque down low).
It is a sohc 4.6 so it doesn't have the rpm range a twin cam has. I am just playing with it while the mustang is going under the knife. The plan is gears/diff and Maaco it up a la Marauder style on the cheap. Most of the parts are either free or cheap shit.
My Foxbody is ridiculous at 120 I am somewhere around 1500 rpm, I have to downshift to spin back into the powerband. But I am reworking the mix when I do the brake upgrades to something more acceptable like a 3:55 that way with my 5th it will be streetable. At this point in 4th I haven't hit redline at 175kmh ( one time in Mexico a la GPS)
