Default Strong points with 2.73's

Just wondering what speeds would be best. Today I was messing around with a 350Z going maybe 40 or 45...it seemed like my car didn't even want to move. Then went from like 25 and I killed him. Thanks guys.

Stall T/C will fix all your problems.

^^^Haha...I know. I just wanted to get my exhaust and intake done with. Now that I've finished those off, stall is going to be next on my list.

like 32-33 mph used to get me a good kickdown to 1st. Also around 70 I think, and it would pull on the highway nicely.
