And the TQ with this engine and the 5 speed is glorious, i dont even use first gear most of the time!

p.s. lemme check what 4th is at 45 when i get home

Thanks for the answer Phil, and the honesty.

I had forgotten you were using a lower diff. If you still used the standard, about 3.89 if memory serves, you would be at 1700-1800 rpm, and not as ready to pull away. Not a true or fair comparison really.

Still like to hear how the 4.44 works with the auto.
