Title: RPMS
Post by: starshooter10 on July 10, 2008, 12:12:12 PM
where do you guys normally keep your RPMS at

im finding now that it's not uncommon for me tyo have em up near 7/8 grand while im on the freeway...

i went 2 down in the front....

and ebfore everyone freaks out...

things move a bit faster here in the bay area.. as im sure skid will agree.... 75+ isn't uncommon at all i've even seen HEAVY traffic moving at 85 >_<

 Sounds about average, esp. w/ a 14T I have a 15 and am about 7/8K on the hwy at 75 or so  :thumb:

Around town I stay about 5 and drop a bit if im in a "quiet area"  :icon_mrgreen:

simple fix, change your sprockets to drop your rpm's at speed.  :thumb:
