I believe tire size has something to do with the speed and rpm also.

blkonblk5.0 what type of rims are those, those are sweet looking.

why guess? there is a simple way to find out what gears you have.
jack up one wheel so its off the ground, put the tranny in neutral. spin the wheel thats off the ground one full turn and count the number of times the drive shaft spins. the number of times it spins is your gear ratio.

ORIGINAL: dimebag

m=2.73 z=3.08 e=3.27
Thanks. My axle code on the door tag is E and when I looked it up in the red book it said that it was 3.27's too. I just wanted to make sure I was reading it right.
