RPMS
My car hits 5000 rpms queit easy lately when giving heavy acceleration. (hiting 0-60 in 8.9 secs) what i would like to know from anyone driving an oldschool bonnie is if this is normal or if im having some kind of problems. I suspect minor tranny probs anyone got any info it would help alot.
Thanks for the future info guys!!!

I rarely floor my Bonneville, but 4500RPM under hard acceleration is about right for me, no transmission problems with mine at all, I find it shifts nicely at abot 3900RPM under the occasional lead foot.
I can unofficially do 0-100 kph...(0-60) in less then 9 seconds....but I have never been officially clocked, I'd like to, but I want to get my cam magnet fixed before I try any quarter mile runs or 0-60'*.
I have to do the intake as well, before I "officially" do anything.
BTW, I have yet to hit 5000RPM at all....ever.

The tachometer is the gage that measures your RPM...its to the right of the speedo
