My combo: too much gear? My combo right now is basically bolt on 99 z-28 a4. TCI 3500 Lid, ftra, NX 100 or 150 shot, Nitto's, and exhaust. NO LT's but later on this year.
I have some 3.73's here at the house that are series 2 carrier. I have 2.73's in the car now. I havent put the stall in yet.
Do you think I would run into some serious problems shifting into OD with the spray and 3.73's? I like the 2.73's but I want a tad more sac in 1st gear, too many dead spots.
I have heard that 3.73's are good for about 115 traps mph before shifting into OD. Im not sure what RPM this is, or if its revving the engine out past what the ecu would shift it at. I know it will shift earlier when in OD vs shifting it manually. I also plan a cam in the future, so I will be shifting it at a higher rpm as well.

Re: My combo: too much gear? I figured it out, 117mph @ 6000rpm and 129mph @ 6500rpm. Don't know where you shift, or how much converter slippare you have but i figured in at a conservitive 6%.
When i was running bolt-on's and 100 shot i was trapping around 118mph in an M6. You'll problably be ok with the 100 shot but the 150 might be pushing it.
