You sound like a kid who is an expert at video games, but no experience with the real thing.
There was never a stock 3.55 geared car that hit 3800 RPM at 55 MPH in high gear as you claimed and your post wasn't referring to a "stock" car anyway.
Are you sure you weren't calculating a 5.55 geared car?

This is to a gearing calculator that gives the RPM's for a standard automatic, an overdrive automatic, a standard manual and an 5 spd overdrive manual at whatever speed you want by inputting the tire height and the rear end gear.
The results for a 27" tire on a 3.55 rear geared vehicle at 55 MPH in high gear:
Not a single one is 3800 RPM. The OD trannies are 200 - 700 RPMS lower that what you claimed and the non OD trannies are very close to what you claimed the OD trannies would be.
Now insert all the same info with 5.55 gearing:
It's simple math. Why deny the truth?
Your continued refusal to deny the facts to try and validate your grossly inaccurate input in this thread is nauseating.
And just for your information - comparing the RPM of a ST300 in high gear (2nd gear in an ST 300 is high gear) to a TH400 in second gear just might be most outlandish thing you've ever done.
