Default What Gear Ratio?

Ok I got a question for you guys. I've been looking into getting my gears done ( 4.10's ) and I was curious as to what gears I have in there now. From what I know the car was bone stock when I bought it from the second owner, and the door tag says it has 2.73's. Now to me it seems like it has way more getup and go than a car with 2.73's but then again having actual torque might bethrowning me off since my other car is a 91 AWD Talon. I have a 93 with and AOD and at 65mph in turning 1600 rpms, is this close to what my rpms should be with 2.73 gears? Thanks in advance guys!


PS: Yes I know there is another guy in here with the user name Luckythirteen13, I wasen't trying to steal his name or anything this has just one I've always used on forums. If I could change it I would so people don't think Im trying to rip off him or anything.

I would do that but I live right next door to the HOA president, he'd be over at my house the second he saw me roll my jack out. HOA rules no working on cars at all[:@]
