I have a 79 Mustang with a C4 and I have 3.55s to put in the rear end. So what would be my RPMs at 60 mph? Right now I have 2.73s (7.5inch rearend) and I am running about 2250 RPM going 60 mph. Gas milage isnt really an issue, but I still want it to be streetable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The set up in my '70 is: stock C4, 9" Chevy rear end(I KNOW, I KNOW. I BOUGHT IT THIS WAY) with 4.11s, and 275/60 rear tires and at 60mph I'm at 3,000rpm. So you should be somewhere just above midpoint between your rpm range and mine. Roughly, maybe 2700rpm..
I run close to 3K RPM with 3.55's gears and 16" wheels.

Use 1.0 in the transmission gear box (3rd gear on a C4). Its the circumference of the tire that matters and not the wheel size. The program uses the tire info to calculate this figure.
