Hi again Lopez;
I think you've made a math error there. Let's try your 3.27 at 80 mph

3.27 x336 = 1098.72 x 80 mph=87897.6 divided by your 26' tire=3380.6769 x.68 (overdrive) = 2298.8602 rpm which is bang on what I run with my stock 3.27's

3.73 x336 =1253.28 x 80mph =100262.4divided by your 26' tire=3856.2461x .68=2622.2473 rpm

3.55 x 336 =1192.8 x 80 = 95424 divided by 26' = 3670.1538x.68 (overdrive) =2495.7045 rpm

After you play with it for awhile you get familiar with it.BTW it looks like 3.73 is the way to go.I 'm hoping to convert over the winter!
