For comparison sake, if cruising is what you're after, I have one here with a .64 overdrive and 3.55's out back with a 27" tire.

It makes absolutely no torque at all and it still lugs around just fine in overdrive at low speeds. I cruise through town all the time at 35 mph in overdrive, and it's just above idle, and will easily pick up speed pushing on the throttle. Basically anything above 35 is overdrive in that car when cruising around and it works fine.

A Pontiac with loads more torque in a very low rpm range should have no trouble what so ever pulling any car around in overdrive.

But......with that said I'm still a big fan of running some gear in the car.
