Default Gears

i'm sure I have 2.73's in my car, running 55 mph at 1500rpm. I am looking to get 3.55's in my car and I was wondering what rpms they would run at 55mph. Or how about any other gears if anyone has an idea. Thanks

Ok so somewhere around 2100 with a 5 spd? And where would I be able to get the new gears so my speedo isn't all screwed up?

I used the speedometer gear kit from mustangsunlimited.com they have it all right there. Good luck. If you need help just ask.
