,,,,boy am I confused over the .6 vs .8 over drive gear ratio now!!!!
I gotta get my calculator out or something.
.8 over drive make the engine turn lower rpm at 60 mph, ie a "taller" final gear ratio?
.6 is "shorter", the engine turns a higher rpm at 60 mph?
Less downshifting on "hills" with a .6, more downshifting on hills with a .8 ?
......man I thought I had a handle on this, now I'm not sure!

EDIT: Got it! .68 is higher mph gear than .80, heres the link.

6650 rpm with a 30" inch tire and a top loader (1 to 1) with a 3.0 rear ratio = 198 mph
An interesting number, if you know what I mean!
