In 5th gear what rpm should I be pulling if I have stock gears? I know there used to be a calculator for the older Mustangs, but I havent seen one for the 3v's yet. If I can figure out what rpms I should be at a certain MPH, I can check on my way home from work.

Here is a gear calc: http://www.f-body.org/gears/

I used this to calculate my RPM to speed, and redline numbers. I have yet to do the 4.10's as the car is up on jacks for suspension mods. She has been there for about two weeks because I am short on time :-). In addition the gear swap is not something I am willing to tackle, and I am searching for a good shop in the Colorado Springs area to have it done.. The dealer wants to charge me $680 for labor, but I know they do good work as they rebuilt my rear under warranty for the clutch packs and gear whine.. It is quite as a mouse now :-)

Gear ratios: 1st 3.38:1, 2nd 2.00:1, 3rd 1.32:1, 4th 1.00:1, and 5th 0.68:1.
Cruise speed (60mph) 3.55 = 1800rpm, 4.10 = 2100rpm, 4.30 = 2200
