6th gear is a myth

You must have stock 2.73 gears still on. Since I've upgraded to FRPP 3.73 I've been shifting up to sixth gear alot more on surface roads. I must admit I love the acceleration of the line now.

Did you leave your stock tires on. If so, you having issues with tire spin when punching it from a dead stop being that you upgraded to 3:73 gears.

I've upgraded my tires...now running 20's 255 35 all around. Upgrading the gear's send my rpm's racing on first and second gear. I get better launches with upgraded lower control arms. No wheel spinning for me.

I use mine all the time! Saves me gas on the way to work. Lol

My dad did that before when i was in the vette... He put it into 6th and just the idle of the engine was enough to keep it going at 40 lol.

But yea i don't understand why you wouldn't use 6th unless you are on streets... You use a hell of a lot less gas if you are at a lower rpm.

 

[FOX21]

I think only the people that wants to save gas

I think only the people that wants to save gas

...and it works! Plus you get a kick in the pants when you drop from 6th to 4th!

 

[curtin1991]

[Garrett7]

[Finrdz]

I was just talking to my cousin about this. I was asking him if my car was messed up because I never use 6th

 

[Gthamilton]

Lol I use it on highway 80 Mph 32 highway miles.

 

[monkey13]

The reason i don't is cus i drive with the mpg screen on to see my consumption and its terrible on 6th since i don't live in flat roads. That's y i started the thread by asking where you guys live .. There's too many ups and downs on even the highways here and i would be way too low in the rpms ..

 

[Gthamilton]

I live just outside of Cincinnati really in between Cincy and Lexington speed limits 70 hardly ever any cops such a rural area. If I'm driving to work ill chill about 80 hardly over 2000 Rpms in 6th gear but really if I slow to 75 I see my best gas mileage but any lower than 75 and I go back to 5th
