Impressed the 383 RR is that close,great thread.
In October 1967,

Chrysler Performance Technical Specialist - Jerry Gross
Jerry tested a new 1968 Road Runner 'Coupe' in late-October 1967.
It was a 727-Automatic with 3.55 Gears. They had pulled the rear, and slipped in a
set of 3.91's.
In stock trim with F-70 x 14" Goodyear Tires {factory equipped}, they were hitting
14.60's.
In the article, Jerry said that they had brought a set of Casler Slicks {28" 'Tall-Boys'}
with them.
With the Slicks, they were hitting 14.35's @ 97 MPH.
As per reported, 'not-a-thing' was done to the Engine {Ignition or Carburetor}, other
than pulling off the Air-Cleaner Tin-Lid.
NOT BAD ........
