I don't think so.... I'm on stock gears and at 70 I'm at 2100. Jack the rear of the car up, block front wheels so car can't roll , Mark the driveshaft on the bottom and a mark on the rim ( use valve stem as a mark) than spin the wheel around 1 full rotation and count how many times the driveshaft spins around and there's your gear ratio !

with the info you provided, you currently have a 4.56 rear end gear if youre doing 2600rpm @ 70mph with a 295/45/17.

He's running t56 with a lower 6th gear. Ours is .67 the t56 is .62. With 456s on a t45 it would be 3200 at 75mph roughly
