With stock 235/75/16 (29.88") tires, @ 75mph with 3.90's that puts you at 2302rpm.

Besides, even though I have a cam/stall and maybe 4.56's, it's not like I'm making anywhere near the kind of torque like the guys with blown 6.0L/5.3L with heads,cam, stall, 4.10's etc. Plus if it's bad, then yes caltracs and slicks will be in order. Hehehe.

Also its all in how you launch it and foot it out of the hole.
