If you want to play with the numbers, Cruise RPM = (mph x Gear Ratio x 336 x OD Ratio)/Tire Diameter in inches. For example, if you're looking at 75mph on the highway, (75 x 3.73 x 336 x 0.70) divided by say 28" tells you that you'll be cranking 2,349.9 rpm, or 2350 which is pretty good. If you run a 29" tall tire you'll drop to 2,269 rpm, even better for economy.
Now if you drop in that set of 2.75's in the back, with that 28" tire and 75mph your cruise rpm will drop to 1,733 rpm which may be a bit below your torque curve on the 350.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
