Gear ratios are gear ratios-- period. The 300 turns the same RPMs as a V8 but often times you shift at a lower RPM because the torque is mostly in the low range. It also has to do a lot with the fact that 300s generally have numerically lower gears-- Trista's dads truck has 2.73s.the rpms are the same in a 6 or a v8... 6 just makes power over a narrow range, v8 over a broader range...
Put a 6 or a v8 in the same truck, they'll run at the same rpm...
no magic...
