Tach is broke, need an RPM answer from you T-5 guys!
My tach is way off, it idles at 1500RPM and I believe it is around 2000RPM higher when driving than it should be. Just to make sure, until I get my autogage installed, what RPM are you T-5 guys running when cruising in 5th at 75MPH??? Mine says I'm doing 4,500RPM which I think is probably 2,000 off...what is it???

If you're 5th gear ratio is .75 (my guess) you're spinning at 2238rpms
If you're .63 (also possible) you're sitting at 1880 rpms.
this is also assuming you're running 215/65/r15's

Here's all the specs to clear up any confusion:
1992 Camaro RS L03 T-5 with stock 3.08 open gears, and running on stock 16x8 rims wrapped in 245/50/16 Sumitomo HTR+ tires.
So what RPM should I be running at?
