3000 rpms I like to cruise at, routinely Iam at 4000-6000, I ride a lot of mountain twistys with the fellas, 3000-4000 is my sweet spot, plenty of power to blast out of the corners, currently have se 255's in but have woods tw-6 sitting on the shelf waiting to be put in ( this week) as you may have surmised, the 255 cams are the wrong choice for me.
