Now I'm confused..... Buy the speedo gear kit from American muscle and get a true reading.

Do you have a smart phone download gps speedometer or GPS hud and it will tell you your MPH.

Idk where you get your info but its horribly wrong.

What about 70?? I'm around 3200 at 70 with 3.73s

With a 25.7 inch tall tire (stock height) .67 5th gear (t45 5th gear) and 3.73 rear end you should be at ~2300 rpm at 70 mph.

Im not sure what you got going on cause theres absolutely no way you are anywhere near 3200 rpms at 70mph with 3.73s in top gear.

Lol I got it to day its a lil over 3 goin 75

The only way you should be a little over 3k at 75 is if you have 4.56s in the rear end.

Probably 3.73s then

Again, No...horribly wrong.


You can put your own info in here if you'd like: http://www.apexgarage.com/tech/gear_ratios.shtml

Damn them maybe I got 4.56s. I'm just taking a guess. The car came with them and the previous owner didn't know shit about the car. Lol

Even with 4.56s and a stock tire you should be below 3k at 70...I think you would be right at 3k at 75 mph according to this calculator

Jack the rear of the car up, mark the driveshaft, spin the tire one revolution by hand and count how many times your driveshaft spins. Much easier than guessing.
