To pick your setup based on someone else's use that's different than yours, will probably be a mistake.

For me, I always try to keep my car in a gear where I have responsive acceleration if I want or need it, without a shift. That's just me.

And to FJ, I'm not disparaging or criticizing you. You are an awesome dude. You have more car knowledge than I ever will and your contributions on the forum are epic. You've got your stuff setup the way you want it and that's fantastic. We just may disagree on this one a bit.

Nothing wrong with that. That's what makes these threads great. I agree, and have the option of buzzing around in a lower gear if I want to, maybe when I'm feeling a little spunky. Pick which one ya want and have some fun, but I also have the option to just let the engine mosey along, sip fuel, and be just about completely quiet. That's what that video is about.

Honestly a big engine is really good at doing that, should be better than that 302 actually.
