For those that don't know - this is an excellent resource for all questions gear / tire size related: http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html
That being said, can someone with more knowledge than me explain "preferred" / "ideal" RPM values for STREET ONLY.
I've not paid attention to my daily driver RPM's when driving so I'll take some notes on my way home from work today.
My individual results based on 5 gearing options are below. I added the 3.55 because that is what I currently have which will be changed.

- I want to step on the gas at a stop light and have my head snapped back as much as the Stock 5.0L EFI will allow.
- Be able to quickly pass on a 55MPH two lane open country road dropping from 4th (Overdrive) to 3rd.
- Cruise with normal traffic flow on the interstate highway going 70MPH.
- City Driving: Around 1,500 to 2,500 RPM is common for smooth acceleration and efficiency.
- Highway Driving: Typically, 2,000 to 3,000 RPM provides a good balance of power and fuel efficiency.
