4L60E + 3.42 gears
Was out for a drive and checked my speedo. It's right on comparing with my gps speed. With the 3.42 square body rear and 255-60-17 tires I'm about 1750rpm at 60mph.

Re: 4L60E + 3.42 gears
I compared my speedo with GPS too. With my K10 4l60e, 3.73 gears and 33x12.5x15 tires at 60 mph I'm about the same. Right about 1800 RPM.

Re: 4L60E + 3.42 gears
I looked up diameters of our tires. Mine are 29", yours are much taller at 33". Your taller tires will bring the rpm down. I think we both found the right combo.
