with 4.11s I am around 1800 to 1900 if I recall..at 85 I think I’m around 2300ish. It’s absolutely amazing. You can be in 6th gear at 55 mph with 4.10s/4.11s. At 35 mph you can be nice and quiet in town in 5th gear.
With my stock gearing 6th gear was a damn joke lol
Also, my top of 2nd is around 70mph with 4.11s

any time. Also, when I say top of second I mean at the 7k rpm limiter lol. In just a normal pull to 63-6400ish it’s about 60 to mid 60 mph I shift at...gets there so fast I don’t know for sure. Friend of mine just scooped a bone stock 02 ws6 with 50k miles on it and our roads are mainly 55 mph around here. Lmao he said he forgot he even had 6th gear. However If in a 10 bolt just be easier on the launch, it will blow them off and in the rare case it wheel hops or hooks..RIP 10 bolt. I think 3.90s may be just a bit stronger than the 4.10s so you can consider those too..however with richmonds and the girdle it wasn’t my gear set that exploded 🤷‍♂️
if you have a smart phone you can download the TREMEC app and can calculate all the rpms and speeds with diff gear sets
