Thanks for that! I have to admit, I have second guessed my 4:11 choice a bunch. I ran the numbers and in 6th gear with my tire height it will be spinning a tad over 2200rpm at 70 MPH. It's not as low as I'd like to cruise at, mainly for the extra noise it will produce. Call me juvenile, but I hope to do my share of stomping anyone with a giant useless wing bolted on the back of their 4 door import. Plus, as my daily driver I usually just stay within a 50 mile radius, so not too many long drives.
