t-56 + 4:10 rear

what kind of freeway RPMs will I see at around 70mph? I know a lot of people prefer 3.42s or 3.73s with the 6-speed. anyone have the above mentioned combo? Car is a daily driver, well at least in the summer.

I have just the stock gears in mine; they're not enough (3.73).

If your motor has any RPM capability AT ALL, it'll really like the 4.10s.

Mine does about 1950 - 2000 RPM is 6th at 70.
