Default 4.10 gear RPMs at highway speed?

I searched, but no luck

I am looking to go up to 4.10 gears with my 6-speed 98 T/A, and I was wondering what kind of rpm you guys were running in 6th gear around 60 or so? Reason I ask is because I will be driving the car out of town and such, just curious on what it would do rpm wise. Right now with the 3.23's (not a typo, no 3.43's here) I am running about 1500 rpm@ 60 mph, but the gear is just killing the performance.

Thanks in advance

However that still isnt 100% clear...I would still like input as to if you guys are running the 4.10's on the highway with no problems etc... I am making 400 or so at the wheels right now if that matters at all.

4.10's here & no problem on the highway.
Look here enter you car in the selection F-body A4/M6
put your gear size in & it'll tell you your #'s

1,500 RPM @ 60 MPH sounds a bit high. I have a '94 with an M6- it turns 1,000rpm @60. If you are turning 1,500 you most likely do have 3.42's becasue I know I have 3.23 and my rpm is less. Food for thought.
