If you changed the size of your tires / rims this will affect your rpm/mph ratio.

My detailed explanation of problem

i got a manual trans, no mods done in last month, and im not leadfootn.
When i shift into 2nd at 3500 it would typically land @ 2000 - 2500rpm approx.
and similar for remaining shifts
Now is only dropping 500rpm approx and climbing thru the band quicker than normal without the typical speed and power for all upshifts.
