Which is it? For best economy keep the shift points below 2000 rpm and feather the throttle to get there. Max power shifts should be just before the rev limiter noses you over.

Peak torque is 1800rpm stock, mine was closer to 2000rpm, last time it was dynoed.
If ya got a pyro, I have discovered that if I try to maintaince a 10:1 ratio between EGT:speed. plus 100º I get the best economy.
example. 65 MPH, would be 750º
45 would be 550º
make sense??? call me ****, but I get bored when I drive, and I figure I got all these gauges, lets look at em.
