With the 2.47:1 shows appx 2296rpm at 70mph with the same variables as previous. There looks to be about 62rwhp at 2300rpm and around 75rwhp at 2700rpm.

I still have a dyno chart I found on here from a 300D where the torque is pretty flat from 2000-2600 then tapers probably 20rwtq from 2600-3000rpm.
2,677 Rpm..........Damn...I'm only able to tell within 50rpm or so how fast mine is turning.
