I'll take a trip out this evening.

Ok here it is........

1700rpm at 30mph.
2100rpm at 40mph
2700rpm at 50mph
3200rpm at 60mph


I'm still running the engine in so dont want to take it much faster for another week or so.

Should have mentioned I'm running 225/60 on 15inch rims but I dont think the rollind diameter is much different.

There is a speed check area near me, close to a accident blackspot, shows my speedo to be reading 2mph low.
