5-speed or automatic, if it's a 5-speed you have 4.10:1 gears.
Here is my "How Fast Can I Go in Each Gear" calculator, its use is straight-forward.
In the upper right corner there is a link to a pop-up "guesstimator" that will make a best effort attempt to determine your rear-end gear ratio based on speed and rpm in 4th gear (3rd for an auto, 4th gear is 1:1 for a 5-speed, 3rd is 1:1 on an auto--making the calculation universal)...

Yes Sir, 5 Speed and 100% sure on the mph/rpms. Sweet deal on te 4.10's, one less upgrade to worry about. (thanks again for all the info cliffy) Originally I wanted to go with an X-pipe because I assumed that I would get more of a hp gain. But if it will be very little difference then my decision would be based on sound. I spent hours listening/watching YouTube videos (drooling) over different combo exhausts. Since I already have Flowmasters, the BBK LT headers with the H-pipe sounded hypnotizing and the price was right.
