Those with 3.0's can you tell me your cruising RPM @60mph. I was really thinking about this swap in my 4.4 I'm currently cruising at alittle bit less than 2000 rpm @60mph. I figure this swap would possibly pick up a few tenths 0 to 60 and a few in the quarter with some MPH increase. Don't really care about the increased rpm and loss in gas mileage. Also, is there something that would need to be reprogrammed for this swap. Would like to get a little bit quicker and don't care for the loss in top end. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Yes, I know that Dinan makes software to make the car quicker but I don't like the fact that it's a software upgrade and not some sort of chip. Plus, I'd like to do stuff before getting into the motor and computer to make it quicker. Your thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. BTW, I'm kickin myself in the ass for not making the NJ CCA meet on Friday.
