Off the top of my head.... with 3.73's and stock t-5, I pull 2000 rpm's in 5th at 65mph (roughly). See? You could jump up to the next gear ratio and still have tons of wind left in the ole girl. Why would you want to do 75 in 2nd? That sounds like a fantastic way to blow a motor or bend some rods. I think you can do...probably with the same car 60mph in 2nd? Maybe even 65.
Milage? I get about 20mpg with the 3.73's and a carb. Granted, I baby this car and mosey around (step 23 on the insurance does that to a person). Go 4.10! Do it! Peeling rubber is fun! Throw the battery in the trunk and get some drag springs.
