Swapping rear end question

I swapped from 7.25 rear end with 2.93 gears (stock) to a Dana 60 with 3.55 gears and I run 14" rims and a 727 3 speed. One thing you need to factor is "cruising speed"


With my setup, I can go 0-110 pretty dang fast, but at 110 I am doing almost 6000 RPM,

But Cruising speed: I have to cruise at 55-65 mph @ between 2500-2800 rpm, 55-60 feels perfect if I get up to 70 I am doing 3000rpm, and 75 is 3300rpm (which is NOT fun to cruise at because it feels like you need to shift). That being said, I can go from 55mph - 100mph in 4.6 seconds. To compare, my 2010 Chevy Tahoe takes 10.7 seconds, my 2016 300hp Honda pilot takes 9.7 seconds, and my wife's 2014 mini cooper Turbo S (six speed) takes 8.9 seconds. So my set up is great for those "rolling pulls" when I feel like getting on it hard... but not so good for cruising. I also had to have the axles shortened, a new custom 3" aluminum drive line, and new U bots and shock plates (purchased on EBAY..NOT CHEAP!)

Hope this helps...
