What RPM are you at, in 5th Gear?
I'm researching the taller 5th gears for my ALH and trying to determine what I need. There's a lot of information out there and read in depth on the club here. I do half my 100 mile per day commute at 75 MPH, and half at 60 MPH. I know the recommendations, but would like real world RPM numbers from folks since I know when my engine lugs with all my mods. (different lug point than no mods).
In order for me to make my decision, I need to know at what RPM are you turning @ 60 MPH in 5th gear. I understand VW speedometers are off, and different tire brands, but let's just do what the needle points to for all practical purposes of this request.
I'll start off:
.756 - Factory stock gear @ 60 MPH I'm turning approx. 2050 RPMs
