[QUOTE="Phantomhalo, post: 14287380, member: 151713"] I don't think there is any kind of "rule" for down shifting just because of so many different variables such as rear end gearing, tire height, speed and so on. With that said though, if I'm going 40mph and want to race or pass someone I will no doubt downshift to 2nd. Usually at those speeds if I am just cruising I'm in 3rd or 4th. I have 3:73's though in the rear. With your gearing, I'm assuming stock, I would say you're fine to downshift into second and hammer it. Just don't go over 6200rpms and you'll be fine. I guess that would be the rule...lol stay under 6200 rpms until you get your motor built! [/QUOTE]
