If it's a 6 speed it's 3.42. If it's an automatic: 1700 RPM's at 70MPH = 2.73 and 1950 RPM's at 70 MPH = 3.15.

Here is a chart using the stock size rear tire & in OD on the highway. These are correct (I have 4.10's) and accurate to within the normal tach accuracies.

Tire

45 MPH - 1298 - 1409 - 1536 - 1606 - 1689
50 MPH - 1442 - 1565 - 1707 - 1785 - 1876
55 MPH - 1586 - 1722 - 1878 - 1964 - 2064 - 1862
60 MPH - 1730 - 1878 - 2048 - 2142 - 2252 - 2030
65 MPH - 1874 - 2036 - 2219 - 2321 - 2440 - 2200
70 MPH - 2018 - 2191 - 2390 - 2499 - 2627 - 2369
75 MPH - 2163 - 2348 - 2561 - 2678 - 2815 - 2538
80 MPH - 2307 - 2505 - 2732 - 2856 - 3003 - 2708

Red98C5, What gear is it in when referring to your chart? Or is the chart for an automatic?

If it is an Auto then check your glove box. Inside there is a sticker that contains all of your option codes. If there is a G92 in the list then you have the performance axle ratio (3.15s), otherwise you have the POS 2.73s. If so throw them over a cliff and step up to the 3.42s....

If its a stick you have 3.42s...

Thanks guys for the helpful info. Change gears to 3.42 ???? Will it be that noticable of a difference? How much does something like that cost?

:cheers:
