Not shure what gears his trans has, he could call Mogie, culhane or tranny mike. they would know off the top of their heads. Figured the chart might help though.

4.88s might be be a bit low for a non-overdrive transmission.

Both... Numerical high gears are low ...

With 35s, 4.88s, bw1356 and a C6, the engine would be turning 3465 rpm at 70 mph
With 35s, 4.88s, bw1356 and a E4OD, the engine would be turning 2328 rpm at 70 mph
