Default 3.42 In a TH350

I was wondering what happens when I put 3.42 gears in the Th350 tranny what is going to be the rpm at 65?

My 1969 SCCA Camaro is set up that way.
3.42 is great for 3 speed Turbo-350 automatic.
45mph = 2500 estimate
65mph = 2850, with 70mph coming in around 3000.
I'm running about 330 hp @the flywheel; Auburn
posi on 10 bolt. The rides great on short road coures. Hope that helps! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Sorry.

I got 3.73's w/a moser 12-bolt...

45mph = 2300rpm

60mph = 3000 rpm

I have a 3600 stall too... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Some guy said it might be a 2.73 but I think you guys know more than he does. When I punch it you can feel the power at 3000 and after why is that?

Well my car cruises at 3000 at 60mph, and I have 3.73's, if you had 2.73's it would be A LOT lower at 65 mph..
