In forth, about 50 ish if cruising. Normally with a bit of a thud if you have old software on the gearbox ecu.

Depends how much you are accelerating at the time. 45/46 is about the minimum, but as said it depends on how you are accelerating and engine load....

I guess the diff ratio is probably a bit shorter? I suppose the gearbox mapping will be engine-specific too :-/

This ratio though never changing in the diff or gearbox can be affected by tyre size... are your wheels and tyres standard?

You haven't got a proper engine....

Besides, as you never go above 45, yours never gets in to 4th gear ;)
