Below are some pdf files that can help you a lot on resetting your APPS and Overhead.
Thats it?? On the apps reset! I've read post where guys were removing the apps and setting them by a voltage meter. What was the purpose of them doing it that way?

My 01 turns around 2000 at 70 with 3.55s check for a dealer equipment sticker under the hood or in the glove box. It will tell you gearing

look for a gear ratio calculator. enter in all your info, and figure out what size tire's you'd need to get to 1600 rpms at 70mph. and it's pretty sweet to mess with. this is one i use most. Gear Ratio Calculator its pretty sweet.
