Im running a built 4L60E w/ Transgo HD2 kit, Yank SS3600 with 3.23 gearing. I'm at 1800rpm at 65MPH and 2100RPM @ 75. The converter locks up in 4th @ 50 mph at 1400RPM. If you want to have some freeway fun in Mexico, put shifter lever in 3rd @ 80mph and let the car go hahaha!!!

I've done it once so far, but I don't let it go WOT into 4th either. I do full pull up til about 5800-5900rpm. Same as if I were going to drag. Should last just fine.
