Gator, LOL yea it's not very speedy! just trying to make it a little better on the highway.

Berry, I'm still catching myself wanting to reach for the non-existant 5th gear. Yes 7% is a step in the right direction. you are the 2nd person who has mentioned the fuel pressure/injection pump settings, I will look into that. Thank you!
I'm ok in my local commute to work cause i can travel the highways. It's when i wanna run up the interstate that's uncomfortable. If my calculations are right (adding 7% to my comfortable rpm/speed of 65mph) 7% gets me 69.55mph at the same rpm.
If this darn car was not so nice I'd sell it for something more interstate friendly.
