Re: highway RPM's (Kinfer)
i know the Si has shorter gearing, so it will be higher than the DX. i guess ill have to start calculating. haha.

Re: highway RPM's (grandtheftlunchbox)
Ah no worries, the 5th on the DX and Si were the same from the transmissions I've compared (I'm in market for a 5-speed swap). Should be the same, could be different depending on year of transmission, of course.

The Dx trans has longer gearing, you will not be doing under 3k at 70mph with and si trans.

That doesn't mean the transmissions are the same.
Op with and si trans you should be doing about 3500-4k going 70 mph. If its gas your worried about It's not that big of a deal.
I have a y8 running on a y5 ecu with a 95 si trans and I still get 40 miles to the gallon with no spirited driving.

Re: highway RPM's (gibsanez)
