Hi guys! I just want to verify your G37 1:1 gear ratio (4th gear?) and see how does the RPM tach behave at 60MPH and floor it .... Does it kind of shoot up from less than 3K and stays in 3K while your gunning it and sloooowly creeps above 3K RPM ? Or does the tach shoot up above 3K RPM right away like how the 3rd gear behaves....?

Also, lets say you red line in 3rd gear and shift to 4th, how low does the RPM dropped after shifting to 4th gear? Or whatever 1:1 gear ratio you have in the car.

I like to verify this bec. I did try to merged in the highway this morning and floored it in 3rd gear and when I shift at 4th, the car is pulling , but my tach kind of stay longer in 3K RPM and very slow to rev up above 3K as it pulls or gain speed. I do not remember this instances since I hardly floor or gun my throttle on 4th. MY car has 5 A/T tranny so 4th is my 1:1 gear ratio. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear Tachometer bounces up quickly like a horny rabbit, but 4th seems slower...
