Generalizing here, but I've read a lot of gear posts. The FRPP's don't whine, everything else does.

Welp, I made it out to Pittsburgh around 2:30 in the afternoon yesterday. I had cruise control set at 75mph @ ~2600rpm for the large majority of the trip (there were a few times where I accidently dropped into 4th and hit 100
). I averaged 22.2 mpg, and I am completely content with that number.
As far as the whine goes, it seems to be the worst at about 65mph. I talked to the shop while I was on the road and they told me the gears set up to the thousandth of an inch(?). I guess I'll have to learn to deal with the whine. I gave my girlfriend a ride and she said she didn't notice the whine at all (that's a good thing). Then I took my dad for a ride and he told me he LIKED that noise, said that's what power should sound like.
Overall, two thumbs up for the gears, a great mod and 4.10s are NOT too much for a manual.

Glad to hear that your install is working out well enough. I could deal with a hard-to-pinpoint whine at 65mph. Also, your MPG is impressive at that speed. I don't think I can pull that kind of mileage. More like 19-20 at those speeds.
My girlfriend can't see over the dash so her whining rivals my gears!
My Dad is hard of hearing, so nothing from him.
