Re: Engine RPM

Mine weighs about 6000, and I get about 70 MPH out of 3000 RPM.
Ratio seems good all around, but not as good as more gears would be.
I would be inclined to ditch the TH350 unless it is seriously built.
Every time I drive on pavement, I try to shift to a higher gear that I don't have.

If you download and install the demo, this is a pretty good little program for figuring your performance with various engines, gears, weights, wheels, etc.
If you input is accurate, the results are pretty spot on.
