I have a 1936 Ford 5 window coupe. I looked at the stamping on the banjo. It looks like 9-37 or 4:11 ratio. I feel like the max comfortable speed on the setup is 50-55 mph. What speed could I get from 3.78 gear ratio or other gear ratio if I am trying get more speed for hiway driving?

Thanks for replies!
