I was wondering what the best overall tire size to run with a 351w with C6 trans and 3.73 gear ratio..? How tall of a tire basically ?

 

I am partial to something in the 28-30" range, at least for the rear. Maybe an inch or two shorter in the front. Seems to fill the Wells nice.

 

I was wondering if I should be looking for a different gear set. 28 inch tall tire is the range height I was thinking of just wondering if the engine is going to be screaming at 60 miles per hour..

 

The calculator shows a rpm of 2758 @ 60 mph

 

I guess that's not as bad as I thought I'd be revving at..

 

I'm running a 3.03 with a C4. Should be good but I haven't had it at highway speed yet. I'd rather be under 2000 at cruise. I might go AOD.

 

I was thinking I should have went with the AOD as well but trying to keep my expenses down on this build and using what I had. I guess I can always make changes in the future if this becomes more of a daily driver..

 

Same here, I just want to get it on the road.

 

Next spring should see me rolling, that's the plan anyways..

 

Yes, with a 30" tire at 60 mph with a 4.10:1 rear axle and an overdrive transmission (4th gear .70:1) you should turn 1929 rpm. That is pretty good as it keeps the low end grunt and gives lower noise and better fuel economy at higher speed.
