I plan on switching from 4.11 to 4.56 and was wondering if there was a formula to figure out how much higher the motor will be revving at the big end. Right now I break thru at approx. 6350 rpm.

4.56 would be 10.9% deeper but dont know if it'd be as simple as 6350 + 10.9%= 7045 RPM

I have driven cars with 4.30s and 4.56 gears and never had a problem yes you do rev but on the street it sure is sweet. By the way a set of 29-31 inch tall tires will really help cutting the gear for a long cruise.

Thanks for the kind words, kudakidd! It's a race only car. I sure hope it doesn't jump to 7 grand.
Just don't want to spin it that high. Going to make the change, so I'll just have to let it be.

I must have totally lost it then. My latest project (ya I know, I said the 68 Charger was my last project...) is a 67 GTX with a dana 60 that has 4:56's in it...Yes, it will be a street car and may make a few passes down the 1/8th strip this coming summer at Winterport Dragway. I also have a clean 66 Belvedere with an real nice 8 3/4 that may end up in the GTX. The GTX was purchased for the wife for all the years she's put up with my Mopar madness. I do remember way back when I was 16 and had a 1970 Charger R/T with a 4:10 dana 60. That was hands down the funnest car I ever owned. Smoked up lots of L-60's with that car! Now I'm 50 and feel like that 16 year old boy all over again.

6350rpm x 4.56/4.11 = new rpm

I have 4:10 sure grip in the rear of one of my 70's & driven it on the street like this for almost 20 years. I hardly ever take it on the freeway anyway. I would hate to see how much I have spent on gas but its worth it. I have been thinking lately about dropping it down to a 3:23 sure grip just for doing some freeway cruisin.

Touche' Bob. But you did notice the smiley after my reply, right? Gasoline is $3.25 a gallon here, and I was indicating that you're not gonna get good gas mileage w/ 4.56's.
