Just looking for opinions as to what rpms u r rollin when yr driving 60 mph or less. Stoked on my new 5 th gear but anything undr 60 mph seems a bit of a drag not worried just looking for opinions

Around 3000rpm. Not pretty sure though....

Its below 2000 at 60 mph. at 3000 I am going about 80 mph. Get a malone 1.5 tune with the cruise control fix and you will be happy with it.

I'm around 2000rpm at 65mph in 5th.

Yep! You guys are correct, Tried using gps and yes at 2000 rpm is about 60 mph. Mostly likely my speedo needs some calibration.

I think all VW speedo are optimistic - at least the MKIV.
