i am new to this six cylinder thing, I need some help from those of you that have your cars together and drive them. I have never drove my car so i have no idea what i am up against. I have the formula to figure out rppms at a certian speed speed mph x final drive ratio trans x rear ratio x336 divided by tire diameter = rpm . What i need to know now is where do these motors like to run??? my combo is 200 single 1 barrel ( larger than stock late 70s ) t-5 v-8 trans , clay smith cam 264/274 110deg, hooker super comp headers, 3.55 rear gears , dui dist. at 60 mph 5th gear .68 od 26 in tires == rpm 1850 est is that good??? to high , to low ??? let me know from you alls experiances . look like 70 mph will be about 2100-2200 rpm I want to drive this car around town and on highway both , so i need something good for both.
