I have noted myself that my car turns @2500 rpms in 4th gear at 60 miles per hour, and 1500 rpms in 5th gear at 60 miles per hour currently. I put borla exhaust on today and while the car was on the rack I rotated the drive shaft to make sure my gears were 3.27s and they are. My question, after all of that rambling, is: Is my car going to top out too fast? I don't race the car at the track, but I do occasionally eat a rice rocket if it is persistent enough to aggravate me. I drive about 30 miles each day to work and my speed is usually about 70 on the open highway on the way. I want to give my car that umph I used to feel when I first drove it, but I don't want to be driving a car that is too wound up. I would appreciate any input here folks. Thanks.
