      About the same here except I have a shorter tire and more overdrive. 2,700rpm is 80mph.
      Escaped on a technicality.

          3.72 gears, TH400 no o/d, 33 tall mud tires, 5000 stall ati tree master, 65mph @ 2999rpm
          Should have had a o/d tranny, but only had 400's laying around. Gear Vendors for sure, just don't know when.

            hmmmm....cruising the 1700 miles to the event will be around 2200 at 75, but after the rearend gear swap in BG we're looking at 3000 at 75. And the car is a slug, I don't shift into high until I'm right near the traps.

                              You guys can keep your silly overdrives because having the t-tops out and listening to that big block singing at 3000 rpm is music to my ears!!!!!
