i have 'adjusted' the rpms om my own vehicle by changing tire size to the largest that would not interfere with car body. i dropped my rpm's by 500 at 60. you didn't state why you were inquiring about rpms? unless you suspect transmission is not going into final drive?which is converter lockup on my GM van.

We thought 3000 was a little high.
