I like those numbers :o) my car will have the same trans, the same cogs and nearly the same tires.AUTOBAHN  here I come!   one thing 6000 is 50% more than 4000, 50% more than 70mph is 105mph so one of you two are lying ! :o)   using the calculation on the measurements only (not the actual diameter of the tire) a 335/35/17 should be 26,23" with 4,11 and 1:1 in the trans should put you at the following speeds 4K rpm = 76mph 5K rpm = 95mph 6K rpm = 114mph   to see 70mph at 4k rpm you rear tires should be around 24"   this is not get back on the list and start right away being a pain in the axx, its just to let you know that maybe your speedo might be a tad off.

In 4th gear at 70mph,I'm seeing 4,000rpm. In 5th,3,000rpm. And,in 6th,2,000rpm. These numbers are with a 26" diameter 335/35/17 tire.

I've got 3.42s and I'm changing them out this winter for 4.10s... ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Menchey To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 4:51 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 2 questions   Yep I know that,just think the 3:73's will give it more zip through first and second,that is if I still want to race. Thanks Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Lessenberry To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:40 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 2 questions   You do realize that a 4 speed will not change the engine speed don't you?   4th gear is 1:1 just like 3rd is 1:1 in the automatic.  You'll have to get a 5 speed to have an overdrive.
