Default RPM vs MPH

What RPM are Stockers driving across the Traps and at what MPH?

Pretty Hard to answer that general a question because every combo
varies.

Our 340/318 Stocker even with Hyd. Lifters trap about 7200 to 7300 and
have for last 30 years or so (Since Valve Spring Pres. rule was changed).

Thank you..
It is good information.
My LT1 iron head in PS touches 6400 rpm at 105 mph best.
Trying to figure best gear and tire for a 4100 lb car moving to Stock.

Figure a long stroke Olds 455 would have 4.56s.
Remember GTOs seem to like 4.33s
305 SBC Camaros guessing like 5.13s
Depending on story 283s would go 7800rpm.

I would think you would want a 4.88 with that combo Dan.

The new cam in K/SA will be running 110-115 range.
To run 6500 rpm range 4.56s may be fine with taller tire.
