Default RPM's with 4.10's?

What would my RPM's roughly be going 70mph if I were to get some 4.10's?

Depends on tranny, my C4 was pretty high( no working tach, but estimated 2800) felt terrible driving it like that, good thing it was only a few mins.-Jon

to high for what ?

Highway driving for long distances, prolly a lil steep

Otherwise its all good. Personally i would do 3.73's w/ a 5spd. I dont have too much of a first gear, it runs out fast. I'll eventually go down to 3.73's when the funds are available, but i have alot more to buy than a diff. set of gears for now.
