my car has 2.73's and its been tuned, it won't shift down into first if i'm going any faster than 37 mph. if its faster than that, it shifts into second at about 3000 rpm, maybe a lil more. but i can't stand it when punks with mustangs get beside me at about 40 and try to race me. then they never want to slow down to about 35, where i rape the little ponies. lmfao

if they were adults, that makes a HUGE difference. I swear my car feels like a v6 with 2 adults in my car. makes it very hard to get loose around corners with just street tires, and my car is no slug. not as fast as many on this board, but I think most will agree that a bolt on/geared LS1 is no slouch. Go test it again, but by yourself.
