What size tires are you running to get that cruising RPM?

I'm running 285X40X17 inchers on the back. 4000 rpm is still too high for 75 mph in fifth. I think he was talking about 4th gear. And with his cam, he may not be able to pull low rpms without bucking and bogging down. Better check it out and make sure it isn't too temperamental an engine for what you intend to use it for. Might be a race engine. In that case, make sure you can live with that on the street. Not real friendly in traffic.
