3.73's 30" tall tire
1st gear @ 6000rpm, 26mph -> 2nd gear shift 3300rpm
2nd gear @ 6000rpm, 47mph -> 3rd gear shift 3300rpm
3rd gear @ 6000rpm, 86mph -> 4th gear shift 3600rpm
2nd, 3rd and 4th are very, very similar to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in a 60E, however with an auto and a decent torque converter, rpms won't drop as much between shifts. But with a clutch, there's no slipage so the rpms will drop more between shifts.

Get a BOV on there if you don't already. That will help between shifts. Also what gear ratios does the NV3500 have that the rpms drop below 2000rpm after a shift. Is he short shifting or something? I say get a BOV, do the drill mod, get a short throw shifter and powershift the SOB. Then look into changing gears.
the gears are like 4.01 2.33 1.39 1.00 .73
gear drop was like 34-3600 but the way he shifts lol. and the turbo take a second to spool up. i would swap to a .68 a/r exhuast housing but i doin't know if it would kill flow in the upper rpm's.
