That's what I calculated for (4.10's, 31.7" tire, .75 final trans ratio @ 2607rpms).

I was always hoping the combo would yield ~2500 @ 80 w/the lock-up converter dropping rpms down a bit. Still way better than 3krpm @ 70mph w/o the 4l80e.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
