Last night I was able to do a bit of experimenting and here's what I saw. On ramp, gentle acceleration, was in 7th by 54 and 8th by 60. Then I slowed down and then let it speed up on level ground, barely accelerating, and was in 7th in high 40's and 8th by 54. So if barely on the gas or coasting mine will drop into 8th in the low 50's.
The difference in 3.73 and 4.10's is actually pretty minor, a few hundred rpm, so I'm surprised you have to get to high 60's to get it into 8th. Say you are in 7th at 60, if you just coast does it not drop into 8th then?
