I believe for 3.31 it's

Code:
GEAR	 2000	 3000	 4000	 5000	 6000	[7000]	MPH/1kRPM
1	 13	 20	 26	 33	 40	[ 46]	6.59
2	 20	 30	 40	 50	 60	[ 70]	9.93
3	 29	 43	 57	 71	 86	[ 100]	14.28
4	 37	 55	 73	 91	 110	[ 128]	18.29
5	 48	 72	 97	 121	 145	[ 169]	24.14
6	 74	 111	 149	 186	 223	[ 260]	37.13

Thx man. The numbers look right to me, as I had heard that 3rd gear with 3.31 gears redlines at 100MPH, and also the 6th gear cruising RPMs look right also.

If your speedo is correct, you can run it to half rpm (3000 for 6K redline, 3500 for 7K redline) and double the speedo reading.
