I guess I was wrong, eh. I'll have to read up on it again.

I'll check out the M85 then when I reeducate myself, thanks.
I took "staying in the revs longer" to mean that you wanted a taller gear that would decrease your torque and increase top speed (per transmission gear). This is common practice for turbo guys. I intend to do the same with my LS swap to mitigate my poor traction
