Lug RPM?
I've come to the conclusion that 1500 RPM is about the lowest practical RPM with any real load. Are others seeing that?
If I see the RPM dropping to near 1500, I drop a gear. Yes, I know this isn't an LS1/2/6 so I don't expect a bunch of low end torque. I was only wondering if others have come to the same conclusion.

You were talking about a 5 speed, right?
