I was reading this old post and it did not sound right.
I must have had the 366 spring number in mind.
The correct number to use for calculations is 336.
I did however calculate rpms correctly in the sample equations. Well............except for the 4:10 ratios.
4:10s in 5th = a 3.16 overall ratio.
It should read 75 = 2570 rpm, 100 = 3425 rpm and 125 = 4270 rpm.
Sorry if I messed anyone up.

That sounds closer. Nice catch. I thought the 366 coincidence was odd lol.

I ran my 06 chevy worktruck 2500 4wd 6.0 to 95 a few minutes ago. Man I didnt realize how fast my dodge is until I ran that truck. Took a mile to hit 95 and thats all shed do.
