go to richmond gears web site and have a look at their gear calculators and figure it from there, you may find that with out a deep gear 6th is totally useless unless you are going 130
I agree Blake -- he's got to run some gears... with a 26" tire - and .5 OD - and 3:73 he'd be turning 1685 rpms at 70 mph... pretty dang low. Probably make for crappy fuel milage and a lugging pig.

I'd want to see 2000 ish or 2100 rpms at that speed.
