that's exactly where mine is.  i cruise at 67ish, which means i waver
between 65 and 70 as my mind and right foor wander.  i never ever go
above 4000 rpm.  i have bfg at's, so my diameter is a bit bigger and my
speedo is accurate, at least compared to those radar detectors with big
digital displays scattered around my town.

Hey


My tach reads about 4000 RPM at 70 MPH.  Does this seem about right?
It's an 87 Synchro.


Cruising at 4000 RPM (or more) doesn't seem like the best idea, but at
least here in Southern CA, 70 MPH is about the freeway minimum.
