in 4th and 3rd/OD

Perhaps a dumb question but I cannot determine if the rpm in 4th is higher or lower than the rpm in 3rd with over drive.
 
Re: in 4th and 3rd/OD

Dang close though, isn't it. Sometimes when I'm running along in 4th O/D and I want alittle more oomph, I downshift to 3rd O/D. But sometimes I just kick it out of O/D and leave it in 4th. Using the clutch and going down to 3rd is alittle smoother on the drivetrain than just dropping it out of 4th.
