I'd be interested in finding this out too. I don't drive the mustang during the week anymore so gas mileage and such aren't too much of an issue anymore, but I wouldn't mind finding out what my top speed would be not to mention my RPM's at 70, 75 mph. Stats for both 3.73's and 4.10's wouldn't hurt.

Try using this calculator: Engine RPM Calculator

fill in the bottom section... the final transmission gear ratios are:

manual: .72
automatic: .71

Thanks for the calculator, john!

After playing with it for a few minutes I was able to calculate my RPM's with 3.73's or 4.10's at 70, 75, 80 and 85 MPH's!

Shortly thereafter I became bored and used it to discover that if I had 3.73 gears installed and was travelling at 800 MPH my RPM's would be 27,241!
