Default Hey you 9" 3.55 and 3.90 gear guys!!

Ok, so i put a 9" in my car from my stock 3.42 10 bolt....the center section I bought came with gears. I was going to check the ratio before install but it slipped my mind. The guy i bought the gears from said he did the whole turn the yoke and count the yoke turns per ring gear revolution. He claimed it was around a 3.55. Now when I drove the car it feels a whole lot different than the 3.42's. From other posts I've read going from a 3.42 to 3.73, you'll barely notice a difference so I'm assuming the same with the 3.55's. My questions is what RPM are you 3.55 gear users at at 70mph, as well as the 3.90 gear guys at 70 so I can see what gears i really have. My pcm is currently tuned for a 3.55 ratio with the correct tire size.
