WOW, did I screw up. I looked at a video of how to check gear ratios, I had done this before and I don't know how I came up with 3.73. This time doing it I followed directions and counted rotations of the pinion as I rotated the wheel 10. 17 on the pinion 10 on the wheel, so 17 plus change x2, divided by 10 brings me to what I think is 3.42. That brings my rpm at 60mph to 2622 with 27 inch diameter wheels. I think I worried a lot about nothing. What a Dummy.
