RPM Vs Speed....What is it

Hey guys,
I have a 1996 Camaro SS with I think 3.73 in the rear.
I know stock is 3.42.
This is my question..... What should my RPM be at 30mph and 60mph if I had 3.73's? If you need me to make it more clear I can try.
Thanks for your help.

In what gear? M6 or A4? Stock tire size?

That I am not sure of. It is a manual, 6 speed.
4th or 5th gear is what I thinking about.
I was told I was doing 48 in a 30. When I looked down I swear I was going 30 and a little over.

With 3.73s, and an M6...

At 30 mph:

4th = ~1470 rpm
5th = ~1090 rpm

At 60 mph:

4th = ~2940 rpm
5th = ~2170 rpm

At 48 mph:

4th = ~2350 rpm
5th = ~1740 rpm

HTH
