high idle
hey guys its been a little while.......

(keep in mind i have a 5 speed)
i idle anywheres from 1250-1750 RPMS
also, I THINK a previous owner put rear gears in my car
i do 65 MPH in 5th gear at 3750 RPM
i am also pretty quick off the line
i asked this a while back but i want some new opinions..........
------------------
Slayer of the following:
1996 Riced-out Honda Civic (all show and no go!!!!!!)
2000 saturn
198? Ford Crown Vic, (no i don't know why he bothered)
1990 Buick LeSabre 3.8
1986 Camaro 2.8
Newer Ford Explorer
Food that makes me sick: RICE
1991 Camaro RS 3.1 V6 5-speed
1991 Z28 Rims with Firestone Firehawks
dual snorkel intake w/ slashed boxes, 2 K&N's, 180* t-stat, 80 series Flowmaster (sounds AWESOME)
my motto: I CAN'T DRIVE 55

you idle too damn high,
i do 65 MPH in 5th gear at 3750 RPM
my old 77T/A with 4speed did that @2600 rpm, and it had 3.23 rear, & 1:1 ratio in 4th
