Thanks, Jim. I'll start downshifting at 48-50. I was concerned about keeping the engine below 4k but it sounds like it's turning less than 3500 at 50.

A 3:70 is on the list but Jim K. is spending a bunch of my money this week on new front wheel bearings, new fuel lines, an A/C compressor and a list of other expensive stuff. Maybe next year.
