Are you in Missouri where your sig says? If you are I would'nt think much better than a 13.8 only because it is deathly hot where you are right now as well as the tires your running. It will probably be hard to hook well!

Yea thats no BS. It was around 100 today and so humid it was a chore to even catch air. That fact alone has made me wonder should I even go this round. Maybe save my gas til it cools down, and I have some DRs and more mods.

That had been my point all along. OD and D are the same damn thing (as far as from a stop) until it decides it wants the next gear. Someone on here at one point said they got a better launch from D instead of OD witch I wasnt buying....so I was trying to dig that person up.

If that's the point why am I that stupid...Anyways here's how I see it, It all depends on on what you finish the 1/4 in. Some people finish in od because they need to fix there shift points. Those who stay in d would proably hit the rev limiter. If you set your shift points up correctly you dont have to worry about hitting o/d but the key thing is imho is are you making any power in the higher rpm range. If not then mabey you went with to much gear.

They are labeled different between the camaro and bird. On the camaro it's labeled as 1 2 D OD, on the bird it's 1 2 3 D. The function is the same though. So D on the camaro is third gear, OD is 4th. On the bird, 3 is third gear, D is 4th.


4l60E's dont have 4 gears, they have 3. With a lockup, and OD.


1st -- 2nd -- 3rd -- Lockup

You might wanna recheck your source there buddy. They have 4 forward gears and the torque converter locks up at about 45 mph (3.23 gears). Why would you not call it a gear??

Son of a bitch, I was looking at something else, and for some reason typed that.
Can you forgive an old man?
