I'd like to see real-world tests run at no more than 4000 rpms or so.
Why? Why not run the engine up to where the engine makes it's rated power? People really need to get over their fright of high RPM's..
I have a theory about that. Drivers today don't remember the time when our cars had lower gears, and no overdrive, and we ran pretty high RPM at highway speed. They have never heard a engine run as it was designed. All the RPM they have heard is at the shift point.
So when they hear an engine running, making good power, running free, and clean, making a little noise, (which I love). It scares them. Most are afraid to use what they got, Never heard it work before
