WHAT ARROW !!!!!

Oh, I guess you gotta have a working Speedo to have an arrow..

I just shift 4000 - 5500 RPMs

I love the comment about " that means you should go faster "

Kids are so honest !!!

" But officer , the thingy on the dash here kept saying to go faster "( blink - blink )
There's a few on this board that can get away with that one

Wait a minute, there is a rev limiter ??????

I drive like a madman (but safe ) and have never had a rev limiter cut in...

whats the cutoff, 6500 ??

(edit) and I have a sock chip .....
Granted it's a 85 3/4 DME bastardized Calif system, maybe I don't have one..

Oh, that explains it, I never go too much into the red, she don't like it...

above 6500 RPMs would be bad now. After the latest clutch 4500 in 5th and the torque tube feels like it's gonnafly south for the winter.

Oh........ I get it.... I always thought it was telling me to drive faster too. I bet if I follow that I will get much better gas mileage. Smile - Jaime
