    There was actually quite a bit of discussion on the gearing earlier in this thread. Basically ended up with the higher gears because of my cam choice (which I made long before I posted here, which I would probably have done different if I knew then what I now ).

    Anyways I have calculated the RPM based on my set up and I will end up with a cruising RPM of 2384 at 60 MPH on the highway. I will also be OK cruising in town at lower speeds which is were most of my driving will probably be done.
