Default Question for 4.44gear owners

Simple question,

If anyone has the 4.44 gears, Do you know the RPM at 70mph in 6th gear on a flat road?

Thanks to anyone who helps...

Not to be a dick, but it would make little difference if the road was flat, curved, uphill or down. RPM at a given speed in a given gear isn't effected by load at all (i.e. travelling up or downhill).

it would be about 400+ vs. a stock 4.10 Diff.
I think I'm around 4000rpms at 70mph.

You are correct. This calculator confirms it:

Yea,
I guess whoever had this car before me installed 4.44gears, because at 70mph I'm at 3.9rpm

Or your speedometer could be off.

I can't see it being 8% off, though. Look for the Yellow Box somewhere under the dash.
