Rick,

With a tire diameter of 22.5 inches, 2.88 rear end, and in 4th o.d. at 
0.8 I calculate 29 mph per 1,000 rpm.  2000 rpm at 60 isn't a bad cruise 
with a stock engine, or one cammed for the idle thru 5500 use range.  
With the only currently available 0.63 units its, more like 37 mph per 
thousand rpm, or 1600 rpm at 60.  3:31 would be 25.3 mph/1000 with 0.8 
and 32mph/1000rpm with the 0.63 unit.  3:54 rear end would be 23.6 
mph/1000rpm with the 0.8 and 30mph/1000rpm with the 0.63 od (much like 
the 2.88 and 0.8 combo I thought reasonable.

Steve
