Hi i'm Chandy. I was wondering if they way I drive can hurt my car. Because my car has a 7afe I'm trying to be very economical. So I shift really early. What happens to my car if I drive it in the low rpms? I'm a little worried about the water that comes out the muffler because it is below freezing here in mass.

if your below 2,000 rpm you are too low
keep it between 2,000rpm and 3,500rpm and you will be fine a 3-3.5k rpm shift point works very well for these cars This post has been edited by playr158: Mar 8, 2007 - 10:09 AM |
