Run the calulator....

http://www.f-body.org/gears/

using 6000 rpm limit, 3.23 OR 2.73 gears, 26" tall tire

*edit* found some ratios.....

1st 3.06
2nd 1.75
3rd 1.00
4th 0.70

with 3.23 144mph @ 6000 in 3rd
with 4.10 113mph @ 6000 in 3rd

A good bolt on car will be nearly maxing out his rpm, you may need a taller tire or extend the rpm

On a side note 4.10's are going to be a bit much.

Use the gear ratio sticky and find out exactly.

If you are auto 4:10s will really turn on the highway. Most people rather 3:73s.
