I think about 3650 @ 70 mph. I don't know the ratio, maybe a 4:11.

Checked mine yesterday ... 2900 @ 70MPH. There must be a lot of speedo and tach errors out there to see so many differences with the same rear gears.

My tach is a little wacky - I think somewhere around 3000 RPM.
Not sure.

It is a 350 auto with 3.08 gears and a 235/70/15 tire.
Someone will have the calculator out soon to figure that all out.
My set up is the same...you should be at about 2750
