Default H2B high way cruise

Whats up. Planning to go h2b but debating whether to keep the b16 cable trans. I have a b20 mounted to it right now and highway cruising blows. 4 grand in the slow lane. I wanna do T2/T4/W2 lsd if possible on my wagon, but idk. H2b is cost friendly. Let me know what ya’ll think.

Add another muffler. These aren't V8's, they need to spin for good fuel economy.

It has a cat, resonator and a muffler as it is already. Not much room left for a muffler.

You can change out 5th gear, but the RPM drop when upshifting into 5th will make the car bog if you don't want 4th gear out. It'll decrease fuel economy as well.

Higher RPM = less throttle needed to maintain speed = less fuel consumed.
