thanks sparky, tryin to figure out final drive now

funny junya92, im just trying to stay within speed limits and/or keep up in speed with others on the freeway

[junya92toy]

Well then state, at freeway speed, what will my engines rpms be? Say at 60mph, 65mph and so on

It will be fine, might rev a little high, but the power is pretty nice

I ran 33s and 5.29s for years.  The speedo was like 7% slow or something like that.  It's really no big deal you will keep up with traffic just fine. Actually the gearing with 33s and 5.29s is pretty sweet on the highway.

If you really want a baseline of how fast you are going at say 75 on your speedo use a gps or have someone pace you in a stock vehicle with an accurate speedo.

thanks guys for your replies

im not worried about keepin up with traffic or my rpm's
i just wanna know how fast im going so i can stay within speed limits

the gps thing is was a thought too, i just have to go and find where mines is now

basically if the speedometer says 65mph at 3100rpm on the freeway
i just wanna know how fast im really goin

I run 4.88's and 31's so same thing basically, its great for my 3vze

[H8PVMNT]

If your speedo says 65 you are probably doing about 60 with 5.29s and 33s on.

A GPS unit will let you know how much you are off. My 85 with 32's and 4.30's is 5 mph off on the GPS units I have.

[DRTYLUVN [OP]]

thanks for the help guys

at 65mph im doing about 60-61mph so i think im set on how fast im going on the freeway

now i just gotta get comfortable with the rpm's being so high
65mph is at 3k and feels wierd to me like its gonna blow up but i'll get used to it for now

[H8PVMNT]

3K is nothing my '80 cruises at about 3600 on the freeway.  You'll be fine.

[DRTYLUVN [OP]]

Thanks H8PVMNT
for the re-assurance

now its time to break it in
thinking of goin to stockton to visit my buddy
goin 65mph and 3k rpm is gonna be a long drive from fresno

These Auto Calculators and Marlin's Transmission Gear chart might give you some more info. 

3k isn't high for freeway speeds, that is where both my 3.0 and 22re rigs run at 70.  At that rpm the emgine is just off its power band, giving you just enough power to maintain speed as well as allowing to to pass w/o having to down shift.  Even at 70 you would only be turning about 3200rpm's, which still wouldn't be an issue.  It might cut into your highway mpg's until you swap to 35's, but you should make up for it in higher city mpg's.
