Wait, what? You can't cruise at 40mph in 4th? When I'm slowly putting around I'll be in 6th at 35mph. Am I hurting my car by doing this (car sounds strong at this speed, although anything less and it starts to shutter a little). If I go with a cam will I not be able to do this?

no i don't think so, low rpm's lug the motor and it doesn't like that, stephen can probably explain it better.

I am not trying to be rude, but why are you insisting to cruise in 6th at 35mph? Allot of guys to you that's it's not good for the motor to do so, I've even seen it in your post asking for the same thing. I will tell you here again it's not good to lug your motor.

Sorry for the hijack.
