CAT 3208 monitoring

RE: CAT 3208 monitoring
Ned,

As far as the Vette is concerned, higher horsepower, lower 1st, 2nd and 3rd tranny gears, but high OD 6th coupled with a low ratio (~2.41 iirc) gives you strong acceleration and let's the engine idle at typical highway speeds. Any of the newer factory hotrods will essentially do it, if driven in moderation on the highway. Even a Viper! Of course, having low cd's also helps.

You guys keep on trekking! I obviously like playing the devils advocate. It's all very interesting to consider. And enjoyable!
