Should be stickied. You can even downshift 6th to 3rd on the highway in some cases. Basically if you're not running the engine from 5000-7400 rpm, the engine has plenty more to give. Just learn to downshift.

Haha I'm in the same boat, even with a CBE. It's made worse because I've also got a 350z with an amazing sounding V6. I'm wondering if a UEL header like OFH would be enough sound-wise to keep me happy.
