sorry and thanks
If you click on his name you have an option to send a private message. When he replies it will show up on the top right of your screen below your name where it says Unread.

But as stated, tire size makes a difference, so if he isn't running the same tire size/diameter it won't be the same.
btw. Do you have Excel?
BlackGMC was kind enough to create a file that calculates all this stuff for you. All you have to do is put in the gear size and tire size and it does the rest.
In the GM Drivetrain section there is a Sticky toward the top of the threads that says Gear/MPH/Shift Points calculator for 4L60 and 4l80. In that thread there is a zip file that contains the excel file you can use.

BTW. It says to only change whats in red. On the right change the Black tire size to come up with the diameter thats in red. Then go back to the left and change the red factors.

According to your tire size your tire diameter is 28.9". My truck has 31.6" diameter tires and my rpms at 70 mph are about 2100. Your rpms will be higher than this. I also lost about 1 mpg going from 3.42"s to 4.10"s.

Any Time.
I would have posted that Calculator sooner but forgot all about it.
You can thank BlackGMC for spending the time to create it.
