hello all, im new here. im looking to save more gas with my 99 gt. i was wondering if there is another differential i could use to lower my cruising rpm.
if i want more power ill leave it in 4th gear. 3000 revs at 60 mph or so seems a little high, granted its good for power. anyone have any ideas? |

thanks for everyone's replys, they were all good ideas.
i just got new (expensive) tires so ill be sticking with what ive got on that for now. plus i don't want to diminish my braking capacity at all since i tend to have accidents.  i liked the ideas of retarding my timing and swapping the 5th gear from the older camry. is there anything else i should know about in order to do these things? |
