Very nice, Brandon.
Assuming your "4th" as indicated on the stick is actually the 5th forward gear (including granny Low) on the zf-6, then that would match my 3rd forward gear in the 4R100, at 1:1 ratio. At part throttle, on flat terrain, when only lightly loaded, my 4R100 will kick into 1:1 at 30-35 MPH as well. And I always drive like an egg is under my foot. So it must be the color red? I've never seen 14 heading down hill with a tail wind. I'm very impressed.

rebuilt the turbo and installed a different wheel over the weekend so my good driving habits were lost today. Ended up blowing an intercooler boot off this morning so I tightened them all up.

"Hopefully I did not get a false full fillup."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a big concern with "FILL" ups without the in-tank mods. I have not done them myself - yet - so when I really want a full tank it takes a while to actually get there. Lots of burping and waiting for things to settle out. I don't call it full until I can see fuel in the filler neck. Don't know if this is a bad practice like it is in new gassers.
