I purchased my B&B Triflow Exhaust from Orange Coast Corvettes for $800 or $900. I've been exploring the 4:09 Viper gear option, but, don't have a lot of details worked out on an exact part number to purchase. Search for Mopar Parts, DCX has a website with several options, pricing does not seem to be too bad.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is RPMs at cruising speed with the 409s?I am only hitting about 2000 rpms at 80-85 mph, and that seems too low for engine health. I would feel more comfortable if the Rs were in the 2500 range, or I could drop my speed a little to avoid getting tickets while trying to stay in 6th and keep from lugging the engine down.Would 409s help this issue?
