Chris,

I missed one of your comments; according to Caspro the 3.21 and the Power
Drive results in a final drive ratio of 3.66 to 1

http://www.casprogmc.net/3.21FinalDrive.html

Jim K has a chart on his website noting that at 65 mph the rpm difference
between a stock 3.07 and 3.66 ratio is 485rpm:

I have both. power drive and 3.21.

I don't have a tach, but the rpm's are definitely higher. A bit too high for
my taste, but I haven't really spent any serious road time in my coach, so
too early to tell. I'm also used to an overdrive tranny in my truck.
