3500 rpm.

Again... Only if it can get there. 5th gear is basically an overdrive so don't expect to just be cruising along in peace and serenity. When you get to a hill you will still have to drop it a gear and hear that F10 do what it does best

I doubt it!

I would stick with the 410 axles if you have the F10, if you fit a G13/6 then would be the time to fit 413 axles with 413 or samurai diffs.

The F10 does struggle a little bit to get up to speed a bit with standard gearing and 29" tyres but once you are there it motors on nicely and will cruise at 60mph............. until you hit a hill then you'll be dropping gears like Dan said

yep no worries, I would only use the 5th gear on duel carriageways or motorways, just to give the engine a bit of ease, depending on what I do in the future either upgrade to a vit or upgrade the SJ to a vit engine with 413 axles and sammy diffs, well see what happens..

bigger engine is the way forward

You'll only really be using 5th when you hit 45-50mph anyway if you want to accelerate any more especially with larger tyres

yep that would be ideal for driving to work as I go down a duel carriegway, I need to keep the engine standard for now because of insurance, so in a couple of years I might be upgrading to a vit engine, or a might be buying my dads RangeRover classic if I can insure it, but it's a bit too big and heavy for me lol love my zuki's..

Don't worry when you get older like us you can pretty much use whatever engine you can fit in it

haha yep, would love to go turbo diesel..

I know quite a few people now who have gone that route and have either swapped to a G16 or now want to swap to a G16

Diesels are heavy and mess up the weight balance.
