hitting the rev limiter on the 3-4 shift i usually dont go on top speed runs but the other day i was on the tollway coming home at like 1am, so i give a little bit of gas, probably around 3/4 throttle, wasnt flooring it. now ive gone 155+ before so i really wasnt paying attention to the tach or speedo because i know the car can do it, then i hear the motor bounce off the rev limiter, look down and im only going 120-125
last time i ran that fast i still had the stock converter in, now i have a 3600, im thinking that is what caused it and i need to have my shift points adjusted
what do you guys think?

It could be the rev limiter needs to be raised or that your 3-4 clutch packs are going.

Doesnt sound like a tuning issue to me if you were at 3/4 throttle unless your tuning was messed with at anything other than 100% throttle, hitting the rev limiter at 3/4 throttle going into 4th sounds like a clutchpack issue.

I think you mind need some tuning done to adjust your for rpm-mph settings for shifts

i wouldnt doubt i need the shift points adjusted, ive gone throught 3 different gear sizes and now a 3600 stall
it just seemed odd because i wasnt flooring it
i need some tuning anyways, havent done anything computer related sence before i put the headers on, and im running pig rich right now, used to get like 18mph in town, dropped down to about 15 around town, and the stall puts its about 14.5
