We measure WHP in 4th for autos and 5th for manual's as thats when the gearing is 1:1 (means the engine turns once so does the wheels cuz in first engine turns once wheel turns .5 or w/e the real ratio is my numbers are just made up examples)

Awesome thanks for the detailed answer.
Last question, since on freeways I'll be having to go into 4th with a 4.56 for a nice pull instead of 3rd with a 4.1 would I see about the same acceleration? In other words does it would an FRS pulling in 3rd with a 4.1 FD pass an FRS pulling in 4th with a 4.56 if both were going 70?
This is the only thing holding back since that is most of the time I usually downshift to pass cars for fun.
Thanks for your help bro,
