I just leave it in D. I don't manually shift the car.

Do not shift. You won't help and often will hurt your times.

I just leave it in drive as well. I have a built trans so I couldnt shift faster than it anyways.

If you were to have amanual valve body you would have to shift but I don't know if the make a manual valve body for the 60e.

Just playing devil's advicate so no one would bring it up.

Leave it in 3 you don't want the car to shift in to overdrive it will kill your times.
Although I don't think it will shift to overdrive at WOT.

I run a 700r4 which is a 4l60e just without the comp. I hold it in gear since my weights want it to shift at 4500 instead of 5200 where I want it to. If your shift point is tuned right then leave it in drive or 3rd

Well I have never gotten the car tuned, and it will shift into 4th with the pedal mashed to the floor somewhere around 120-125mph.

My car is tuned and the trans is built Now will it go into overdrive at wot?

OD at WOT will destroy **** if you are making good power! OD is meant for cruising and not excelerating, especialy if giving it hell.

I would think factory the car shouldn't shift in to OD at wot so I am guessing the guys with that problem have custom tunes and had that changed.(not sure why)

If your tranny is built for it, you can go wot into 4th ! I personaly asked Mr. Rossler this myself when talking about my new tranny that I will be putting in shortly. Even the "Ohio Boys" did a couple times at thr strip because they ran out of gear.

How is a factory car, being able to shift into 4th at wot a problem ? You think when Car and Driver test an auto car they let of the gas and let it shift into 4th at 3/4 throttle or something, sorry, not a chance.
