What will RPMs be with 373 gears in auto

[MrPerfect2]

I have 327 gears in - rpm 1850 @ 65mph - any idea on rpm with 373 or 410s

I'm not an auto guy. Does the converter slip or lock up? If it slips, how much?

I notice that calculator does not allow for converter slip. So, basically, he could use that and then multiply by (1- slip%) to get the speed.

Is tremec only for sticks not auto

Really it’ll be close enough.

So, let's just make this easy, though my engineering/physics mind would prefer all the data:
373/327 * 1850 = 2110 RPM
410/327 * 1850 = 2319 RPM.

The answers should be as accurate as your RPM estimate is.

What auto are you talking about? AOD? C4? Powerglide? C6? 4R70W? AODE? A904? AXOD????

[MrPerfect2]

Its a 91 AOD

Enlightening! Well, the 3.73s with my viper-spec trans have me at 975 rpm at 42 mph.

~2000 rpm at an indicated 65 (My speedo is fairly accurate, checked with GPS)
1991 LX 3.73's, AOD w/lockup converter, 245/45/17 tires (25.70" theoretical diameter)
OD ratio in an AOD is 0.67/1.

I went the other way. I added torque and horse power instead of a reduction gear.

 

[MrPerfect2]

Got to check my tire height - 30 years ( maybe the gears have been changed )

 

[MrPerfect2]

I have 225/60/16 on stock pony rims - when tire change is needed , if I drop down in height a bit to a 55 or 50 it should give more off line torque ? It will harden the ride a bit with less air though and may look too short on tires - maybe a half inch drop in height would be nice compromise before I do gears ( 373 sound reasonable for daily driver with highway option )

I would not put smaller tires on the car, gears are much cheaper than tires are.

 

[Rdub6]

It will have an effect on gear ratio and make it higher (number). Whether it will effect it enough to notice, I doubt it. It will, however make your speedometer off enough where you’ll probably notice that!

The tires, and or the rear end ratio do not affect the rwtq in any way.
The engine will make the same rwtq number with a 2.73 or a 3.73 rear gear set regardless.

Yes I realize the actual torque produced won’t change - I am talking the feel of torque
