Default 4.56s?

My truck has a 4L60e, 5.3 w/LS1 Hot Cam, 3000 stall, 275/60/17s on the rear, and 3.73s. I drive the truck on road trips and dragrace it often. I was gonna install 4.10s but what about 4.56s? what would be the RPM in 4th at 70 mph? How much would the speedo be off untill I tune it? I would just like some insight. Thanks.

That truck looks familiar. Where you from?

I have 4.56s in my truck with 275/60-17. I love em. About 2450 going down the highway at 65, 70 is a little over 2500 i believe.

you can always go in the middle with some 4.30 gears. i have no clue what the rpm is at going 70mph though.
