sounds like you have a rear ratio around 3.90 to 4.10 but I could be wrong.

The 29" tyres would be helping to make the 4.56 gears a bit more streetable.
I have 4.44 gears in one of my cars and with a 25" tyre I'm flat out, i.e. pushing 6000 RPM, at around 100 mph in top gear.

Matty 401 I ran the rpm calculator looks like you are dead on with the 4.56 gears.

I know I'm late with this, but I'd work on the trans a little bit. What are you running for an engine and what is your shift point? With 29.5" tires, I ran a 4.88 gear with a 5000 stall converter and it went a heck of a lot more than 20 mph before I needed to shift to 2nd gear. My shift point is at about 6800 though, I'm running a 727 with a JW transbrake valve body.
