Thank you. This may not be worth trying after all but I'll try to get more information on this. The 3,000rpm at around 72mph just 'feel' pretty high but if that is the rpm the motor operates best in then it obviously makes no sense spending lots of time and money to make it drop to something like 2,500rpm.
