80 mph is about 3100, i dont go that high. i try to keep it below 2800. (about 73-74ish) i'll have to get back to you on the 65 mph. but its probably around 25-260096 3.8 red camaro. <br />headers,cam,valve springs,retainers,auburn lsd,3.73 gears,SLP cold air,accel coils,24lb injectors,8mm plug wires,air temp module,LT1 diveshaft,removed a/c,edelbrock torque arm,spohn LCA\'s and PHR

I was just thinking of doing the 3.73 gear swap to my car quite soon. My only difference is the auto tranny. However, I dont honestly think that an auto would affect the mileage more than a couple mpg as compared to your m5. Interesting, thanks for posting the info, that's good to know.1997 Firebird, A4,WS6 Ram air hood, edelbrock catback, SLP CAI, 85 dry shot<br />1981 Firebird Trans Am<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/dreaded_hope\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/dreaded_hope</a>

3.73s should be turning 2880RPM @ 85MPH with 3.73s, it sounds liek you have 4:10s or an uncorrected speedo.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
