2.73 to 3.73 with stall If I changed my 2.73s to 3.73s what would my RPM be cruising in OD. I have an SS3800 in the car now but it locks up so that shouldn't be an issue.
Also going from 3rd to 4th in WOT (which is hard on the tranny, I know) what mph will it shift at to get into 4th 115 or 120?

When I say WOT into 4th, the tranny will be built up. Most likely I will go with a Level 4 setup. With my 2.73 I won't hit 4th until around 162 which I won't be doing. And I drive around in 3rd so I don't have to worry about the 4-2 downshift.
I just want to know that when I get the tranny built up, will I be able to go into 4th at WOT especially with a gear change to 3.73s which would shift me into 4th at around 120.

Even the 3-2 downshift at WOT isn't good for the tranny. Even a built tranny will take abuse doing that and WOT in overdrive. The design of the 4l60E is weak. There just isn't enough frictional surface area on the internal parts. (so i am told)
