That is the exact combo I have. Same trans gears, rear gear and tire. As I recall, you and I both rarely if ever drive at Interstate speeds. 55 mph is really the highest speed limit I encounter. The .81 OD is perfect for 65 and even 70 mph cruising. Even 75 mph @ ~2500 rpm is still very comfortable.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
