The car has  N- 50-15's .The guy told me it had 391's but i figured it would be tacking 3 grand at 55 if it had 391's.I think its 355's.The tach might be off since its 36 yrs old.

sounds more like 3.23's to me.  I hit 2100-2200 rpm in my ramcharger.  It has a 9 1/4 with 3.21 gears in it.

:iagree: The online calculater is showing 2189 rpm for a 28in tire with 3.23 gears at 55mph.
