Found a cool calculater for eng rpm speed and diff and tran ratios.

Other than putsing around a small town 25 mph has a nice tourgy Rpm 3rd its quite and low rpm 35 and 45 are good in 3rd. I live 7 blocks from I90 In western south dakota. So jump on it 75 MPH soon to be 80 with 273s will be 2450rpm 4th with 373s you can add amost a grand to that. with my trans 3rd you can run it up to 65 easy like 3800. if i did any gear change to diff would be more like 308s. I other than snow have not been able to do Less than 75 because of traffic in the 50 miles to rapid city. since moved out Denver 5 yrs ago. |
Then if not changing gears, I would change the motor. Get some Vortec heads (or similar EX: high velocity @ lower valve lift levels) & a smaller (torque producing) cam profile.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
