I am guessing if you rarely get out of 3rd, you are driving some short twisty tracks. The local DFW tracks I redline 4th at 8500 in my AP2, so about 104-106.
I would imagine on some of the longer straights at Texas World you could likely be close in 5th.

Autox is 2nd with an occasional 3rd tossed in.

What track are you at staying in 3rd?

Bob, we will call you Bob. Wait til you get over 8000, the Mrs won't know what hit her.
