[QUOTE="ShiftyThePirate, post: 14287405, member: 163467"] Okay thanks man, that is what I figured. I'm @ Ford now so I was asking the tech working on my car and he said as long as you aren't allowing the down-shift gearing to over-take the limiter you should be perfectly fine, so the only limit really is the RPM. My gearing is 3.73 as well. I was gonna say if I can't even down-shift into 2nd @ 40 then lol, I'd be scared of trying to pass a minivan on normal roads. Good to know I can also take it higher if needed, but I don't have fast enough foot-work yet. :-D [/QUOTE]
