Here's a nice accurate graph of a wide ratio top loader, 3.55 gears and 275/50x15 tires. The engine turns the trans turns the axle (not a lop of slop there) turns the tires. Pressure and rotational inertia can have some effect on "real" diameter and effect total final "gearing", but the margin of error would be a couple mph at most I would think.

Weight is always a factor


If I remember correctly it was around 6200 to 6500 rpm. I'm just saying a 3.55 gear MIGHT be too tall in the real world. I remember when I was running the 1/4 I was just shifting into forth just before I hit the light with the 3.55s.
Not saying you are wrong , just stating a little real world testing would help here.
