P.
The VE tables don't distinguish on the basis of gear ratio. Its strictly RPM x MAP. You need to be judicious if tuning on the street. I've used 3rd gear although now the ZR is at over 10-15mph more than my 84. So I'll use a dyno for 4th gear. I like using the street because it more accurately models the conditions the car is actually run under like any ram-air, load, air resistance etc. Since you're south of 80, you may have better opportunity for open road
