Quick questions about 5spd conversions
I am hoping to be joining the 5spd club next summer, but have a few questions. First I do a lot of highway driving and enjoy the fact that the SVX cruises at 2600RPM or so at 80 MPH. This gives me a nice quiet commute to and from school. When you swap to a 4.11 5 spd what are the RPM's in 5th at 80MPH? What about putting in meatier gears before I even install the tranny? I ask that because I remember someone on here saying that Impreza gears were weaker than the stock 4EAT gears. Fact or fiction? I have other questions that I can't recall at this time but, I will post them later. Thanks for any and all input. It is appreciated
