Going to need rear tire size ( roll out), and probably torque converter stall speed. I`m sure somebody running that Top Stock combo could help put you in the ball park, without all the numbers, but the data would help:)

Just to tie things together here, he posted this info in another thread.

"30 x 9 x 15 -94 rol out 6000 stal"

a typical A/SA combo would use a 4.88 or a 5.00 if you can find a set.
