my typo I thought I was typing 373 I was doing some calculations and if you were running 410 and used a 32" dia tire you should be able to hit the same rpm's as corvette73

That mb om617 will not like too many rpm a least mind don't.
With the 410s that I had in it on the highway it was turning to many rpm at highway speed. Vette.
