I was wondering what people thought is a safe RPM to hold the engine at while highway driving? I have a 87 2.1L and try to keep things just below 4000 rpms, but take it alittle higher here and there.

:D That is perfect.... up to 4000 rpm is the prefered cruising RPM... as long as you don't go into the red for more than a second or two, :twisted: :twisted:

4K RPM gets me right to about 70 mph indicated. Still not fast enough to keep from getting tailgated on the freeway. In the future it will be a bigger engine and bigger tires so I can, atleast, sort of keep up with traffic.
