it depends on the rear end ratio. I think that a GTU sould be doing 3800@60mph (4.30 gear)



my vert blubs along at 2800 rpm at 55mph with a 3.90 rear, check the speedo cable for stretch/twist

GTU are 4.10 standard tranny. Only GTUs are 4.30



Some NA trannys came with different fifth gear ratios.



If you don't have stock tire size, that will throw off the speedo too.
