Variable will be your converter. However, typically a small block with a 4.86 goin 9.90 is gonna be about 131-134 mph with a 32 inch tall tire at around 7200 give or take 100 rpm. Shorten the tire and obviously the RPM's increase

Well the obvious solution to me is put a 3.55 rear gear in it and have the same 1st and 2nd SLR but also have the ability to hit another gear at the top

Most guys that run a glide dont play the SLR... they
dont want the hard shot on the line but look for
consistency.. gear has always been top end RPM to me..
if I wanted a better SLR I'd run a lower 1st gear
in the trans

The Duster will eventually have a 4.30 gear in it as I really like that gear with a big block and a big block is in its future. I have 2 complete 4.30 Ford 9 inch set-ups for my Daytona but that doesn't do a lot of good went the Duster has a dana in it. With the new small block the 4.88 should be fine for now.
