Default What RPM is everybody doing around 80MPH?

When I first got the car I am pretty sure at 3k RPM I was doing about 90MPH. After the Techno Square ECU upgrade and the GruppeM intake it seems like the car is doing 3k RPM at about 80MPH.

I could also be mistaking, but I wanted to make sure I'm at about the same as everybody. This is all in 6th gear BTW. Also my AVG. MPG went up by 2 which is strange to me.

It's all in your imagination. The ECU will not and Cannot change the physical gear ratios. For that you'd need a new rear end or transmission. It's actually all simple mathematics. Even with 1000hp and super mods. IF you keep the gear ratio the same, the RPM vs. Speed will always remain constant.

ding ding, there is no question in this, science says its in your head. it will always be the same unless you change the gearing. and all Zs will be the same as well. (tho auto might differ from manual, not sure if they use the same gearing in 6th)
