I don't know. I have a 5-speed and 3.7 diff and can go 80 without much
fuss, but I don't know that I really like the speed. Wind buffeting is
much worse and tends to stress out the driver during longer Interstate
runs. I've thought that it might be more enjoyable to keep it at 70 or
so.
For the record: I think next time I would use a 3.9 with the 5-speed.
