going 3500 in 5thgear, do i need to worry about it
im like noticing this for awhile. when i drive on the free way and i am in 5th gear my rpm is reading 3500 at 65 mph and my exhaust is hella loud. i have a dc headers and cat and resinator. (zc motor, 89 integra ECU, 90 crx si tranny) is this normal reading for zc. it feels like i cant drive it on the freeway and go to long drives or something like that. please let me know if anyone has these problems too.

I think it should be about right. you have an Si tranny, you get better acceleration but higher freeway speeds.

but OH MY GOD that makes so much sense now. I just got a new tranny and i accelerated a lot faster with lower freeway speeds and never knew why. do you think I got an si tranny. the code was still the same as the old one I think that it said l3

My S1 tranny with my B16 revs about 4500 RPM at 70 MPH. And I drive the **** out of it on the highway, So I guess It can't be that bad, its a little uncomfortable though
