Message: <blockquote data-quote="faux" data-source="post: 413595" data-attributes="member: 718">With my stock engine an box I have always cruised at between 50 and 55 ( I'm running 185/65/15 which has a 5% smaller circumference than stock). This is where it seemed happiest. I have recently fitted a very mild stock operating 1776cc and 5 rib gearbox with taller ratios. At a cost of about £2000 I can cruise at 60 and keep that up hills, my bus is a packed out Westy so pretty heavy. This sounds like a small gain but I can now avoid those lorries overtaking. I don't care about going fast but I do like to avoid that mad back draft lorries cause on my slab sided bay.I have no gauges and I recently lost all my oil due to a faulty cooler and the red oil light lit up and saved the engine. Fffffeeewww!</blockquote>
