Its not a dog with 3.07 and it hauls ass with a stock motor. Yes it was peppier with the 3.73 but now its got some long legs and can cruise comfortably.
Dude, Go to this site and enter the ratio (3.07) tire size (33) and speed (60).

I actually did the math without this site 25 years ago and got the same answer; 1875
